Corporate presentation summary
30 Mar, 2026Strategic positioning and growth
Operating in top-tier jurisdictions in the Americas, with a diversified portfolio of long-life copper assets and a strong financial position, including over $1B in liquidity as of December 2025.
Achieved record results in 2025, with significant production growth and declining cash costs, setting a strong foundation for 2026 and beyond.
Clear path to transformational growth, targeting ~70% copper production increase to ~375ktpa and a ~30% reduction in cash costs, driven by Mantoverde Optimized and Santo Domingo projects.
District-scale growth strategy focuses on organic expansion, operational excellence, and leveraging synergies between assets, particularly in Chile.
Leadership team with over 150 years of combined mine operations and project management experience.
Asset portfolio and operational highlights

Mantos Blancos (100%): Successful debottlenecking, with Phase II expansion study targeting increased throughput and cathode production; exploration potential remains high.
Pinto Valley (100%): District growth study underway, evaluating resource inclusion and mine-life extension through 2050, with consolidation opportunities in a prolific US copper district.
Cozamin (100%): Mine-life extended to 2030, with productivity improvements and selective mining techniques; dry stack tailings and paste backfill plant implemented.
Santo Domingo (75%): Fully permitted, shovel-ready project with a 19-year mine life, targeting 106ktpa copper at $0.28/lb C1 cash costs; financing and sanctioning decision expected in H2 2026.
