Corporate presentation summary
23 Feb, 2026Project overview and development status
Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) completed, confirming robust economics and low execution risk for a 13-year open pit copper operation with conventional heap leach processing.
Environmental approval (RCA) received in November 2025, marking a major permitting milestone and de-risking the project.
Project is located in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction in Chile, adjacent to major infrastructure and existing operations.
Rapidly advancing toward a construction decision, with detailed engineering and sectorial permitting underway.
Strong relationships established with local and national regulators through multi-year engagement.
DFS results and financial metrics
Post-tax NPV (8%) of US$1.1bn and IRR of 39% at US$5.05/lb Cu; US$709m NPV and 31% IRR at US$4.30/lb Cu.
Initial capex of US$587m, with industry-leading capital intensity of US$11,700/t Cu production capacity.
13-year mine life with a production target of 50ktpa copper cathode (first 10 years average 48ktpa).
C1 cash cost of US$1.69/lb and AISC of US$2.09/lb (steady state, years 2–10).
Payback period of 2.2 years, with EBITDA margin of 58% and average annual EBITDA of US$326m (first 5 years).
Mineral resources and reserves
2025 Mineral Resource Estimate: 213.5Mt at 0.40% CuT (Measured & Indicated), 21.2Mt at 0.29% CuT (Inferred).
2025 Ore Reserve: 179Mt at 0.42% CuT for 748kt contained copper (Proved & Probable), with 88% M&I conversion to reserves.
93% of total resource tonnes now in Measured and Indicated categories, reflecting high confidence in resource base.
Resource growth supported by over 135km of drilling since 2016 and ongoing conversion of inferred to indicated resources.
