Corporate presentation summary
8 May, 2026Project overview and development status
Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) completed for the Marimaca Oxide Deposit (MOD), targeting 50ktpa copper cathode production with a 13-year mine life and a low strip ratio open pit operation.
Environmental approval (RCA) received in November 2025, marking a key permitting milestone and advancing the project toward a final investment decision.
Project is located in Chile’s Antofagasta region, close to major infrastructure, with recycled seawater supply secured and certified renewable power available.
Detailed engineering, sectorial permitting, and project financing are underway, with early site works and long-lead items identified for 2026.
The MOD is positioned as a low capital intensity, high margin project with industry-leading ESG credentials.
Financial highlights and capital intensity
Post-tax NPV (8%) of US$1.1 billion and IRR of 39% at US$5.05/lb copper price; payback period of 2.2 years.
Pre-production capex of US$587 million, with initial capital intensity of US$11,700/t of copper production capacity, ranking among the lowest globally.
C1 cash cost of US$1.69/lb and AISC of US$2.09/lb, placing the project in the second quartile of the global cost curve.
EBITDA margin of 58% and average annual EBITDA of US$326 million over the mine life.
Strong cash position of US$165.6 million as of February 2026, supporting ongoing development and exploration.
Resource, reserve, and exploration potential
2025 Mineral Resource Estimate: 213.5Mt at 0.40% CuT (Measured & Indicated), with 93% of tonnes in M&I categories.
Proven and Probable Ore Reserves: 179Mt at 0.42% CuT for 748kt contained copper.
Extensive exploration targets identified near the MOD (Cindy, Roble, Mercedes, Tarso, Sierra), with potential for significant oxide resource additions.
Pampa Medina and Madrugador acquisitions offer district-scale growth, with ongoing 100,000m drilling program targeting both oxide and sulphide mineralization.
Drilling at Pampa Medina has confirmed thick, high-grade sediment-hosted copper mineralization, with mineralization remaining open at depth and along strike.
