Milpo will fund exploration and is required to prepare a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment within a 3-year option period. Reasoning: The signing of a definitive option agreement with a major producer like Milpo provides significant de-risking and capital support for the Huajoto project. - Positive factor: strategic partnership with major international mining house Milpo - Positive factor: risk and expense sharing agreement - Positive factor: pathway to 80% interest via PEA development - Negative factor: potential dilution of Alturas interest to 20% or 1% NSR Facts used in scoring: 14 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is described as being located 22 kilometers northwest of the historical mining town of Huancavelica.
