Corporate presentation summary
1 May, 2026Strategic positioning and business model
Operates a long-term copper asset with a sustainable, low-risk business model focused on recovering copper from mining waste, avoiding traditional mining risks.
Maintains a strategic, multi-decade partnership with Codelco’s El Teniente mine, processing waste from the world’s largest underground copper mine.
Operations are based in Chile, a leading copper-producing country with minimal jurisdictional risk.
Capital return strategy and shareholder value
Employs an industry-leading Capital Return Strategy (CRS) that prioritizes quarterly and performance dividends, as well as opportunistic share buybacks.
CRS has delivered a 561.47% total return (51.09% CAGR) since October 2021, outperforming copper peers and ETFs.
Yield on quarterly dividends is 2.8% (as of April 30, 2026), excluding performance dividends.
$39.9M CAD spent on share buybacks since CRS inception, reducing shares outstanding.
Operational performance and financial guidance
Consistently meets or exceeds copper production guidance, with 2024 production at 64.6M lbs (3.5% over guidance) and 2025 guidance at 62.2M lbs.
Cash costs per pound produced have remained competitive, with 2024 at $1.89/lb and 2025 guidance at $1.93/lb.
EBITDA and free cash flow for 2026 are highly sensitive to copper prices, with projected EBITDA ranging from $74.5M to $100.1M and FCF from $34.8M to $59.2M depending on copper price scenarios.
