Corporate presentation summary
23 Feb, 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 low strip ratio open pit operation.
Environmental approval (RCA) received in November 2025, marking a key permitting milestone and de-risking the project.
Project is advancing toward a final investment decision, with detailed engineering and project financing underway.
MOD is located in Chile’s Antofagasta region, close to major infrastructure, port, power, and recycled seawater supply.
Low execution risk due to proximity to utilities, skilled workforce, and government-owned land.
Financial highlights and project economics
Post-tax NPV (8%) of US$1.1bn and IRR of 39% at US$5.05/lb copper price; payback period of 2.2 years.
Pre-production capex of US$587m, with industry-leading capital intensity of US$11,700/t Cu production.
C1 cash cost of US$1.69/lb and AISC of US$2.09/lb (steady state years 2–10).
Exceptional EBITDA margin of 58% and average annual EBITDA of US$241m over LOM.
88% conversion of measured and indicated resources to reserves, supporting robust financial forecasts.
