CORPORATE FOCUS – 3 INITIATIVES
----- End of picture text -----

1. DEVELOPMENT OF LOS CALATOS Cu-Mo PROJECT IN PERU

  • Runge Pincock Minarco (RPM) Mining Study completed in accordance with a defined Scope of Work

  • Development of Los Calatos commencing with an underground, sub-level caving, mining operation

  • Favourable economics at a production rate of 6Mtpa, producing 765kt Cu in concentrate over a LoM of 17 years

  • Engage with financial and strategic partners to fast track development

  • Next steps commencement of Pre-Feasibility / Feasibility Study, permitting and EIS studies

2. DEVELOPMENT OF MOLLACAS SX-EW COPPER PROJECT IN CHILE DEPENDENT ON SATISFACTORY OUTCOME OF LAND ACCESS ISSUE

3. SECURE NEAR TERM CASH FLOW THROUGH OUTRIGHT PURCHASE OR JOINT VENTURE

Los Calatos Cu-Mo Porphyry Complex
----- End of picture text -----

  • Estimated mineable quantity (tonnes) of 94Mt @ 0.88% Cu & 510ppm Mo

  • LoM of 17 years with steady state production rate of 48,500 tpa Cu in concentrate

  • Underground sub-level cave operation

  • Excellent regional infrastructure

  • Designated “Project of National Interest” by Peruvian Government

  • Exploration targets may complement development

  • Conventional sulphide flotation

  • Expansion potential with increasing copper price

Inferred Mineral Resources comprise 62% of the mineable tonnes. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised.

Exploration Target TD2

  • Outcropping shallow-level hydrothermal breccia containing chrysocolla (hydrated copper cyclosilicate) mineralisation

  • Extends over strike distance of >200 metres

  • Presence of cryptocrystalline quartz indicative of the upper levels of a hydrothermal system possibly developed above a porphyry system.

  • Similar to hydrothermal breccias that host the high copper and molybdenum grades within the defined Los Calatos deposit

Global copper supply – demand dynamics
----- End of picture text -----

COPPER WILL REMAIN SUPPLY CONSTRAINED AND A DEFICIT IS EXPECTED IN 2018

  • The outlook for copper remains compelling as emerging economies transition to consumption led growth

  • Global copper demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% to 2030

  • In the near term new supply induced by high prices will marginally exceed demand growth

  • Beyond 2018 a significant deficit is expected to emerge

  • Decline in grade remains an ongoing challenge

  • Existing and new greenfield supply will face a shortage of ready made power and water supply

  • These factors will also significantly impact the cost of global supply

  • Estimates are that by 2025 the global deficit likely to be greater than 8Mtpa

Note: Production from current operating mines and committed new projects, copper grade data only available to 2025
