Investor presentation summary
1 Sep, 2026Strategic positioning and growth outlook
Positioned as a diversified mid-tier copper producer with significant gold exposure and operations in Peru, Canada, and the U.S., targeting a 70% increase in medium-term copper production and over 100% long-term growth, supported by a robust pipeline of development projects and exploration assets.
Maintains industry-leading margins with Q2 2026 consolidated copper cash costs at $(0.40)/lb and trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion, reaffirming full-year production guidance for all metals.
Strong financial position with $891M in cash, net debt to adjusted EBITDA at (0.1)x, and consistent free cash flow generation, enabling funding for high-return growth initiatives and capital flexibility.
Holistic capital allocation strategy prioritizes prudent growth, financial flexibility, and risk-adjusted returns, balancing investments in brownfield and greenfield projects, exploration, and shareholder returns.
Committed to sustainability, with progress toward 2030 GHG emissions reduction targets and strong community engagement, including high local and Indigenous employment rates.
Asset portfolio and operational highlights
Constancia in Peru is a long-life, low-cost copper mine with ongoing throughput expansions and recognized for operational excellence and safety; exploration targets like Maria Reyna and Caballito offer further upside.
Snow Lake in Manitoba is a high-margin gold operation with meaningful base metal output, extended mine life to 2041, and ongoing expansion through the 1901 deposit and regional satellite exploration.
Copper Mountain in British Columbia has a 20-year mine plan, recent throughput optimizations, and mine life extension via the New Ingerbelle expansion, with significant reserve conversion potential.
U.S. growth pipeline includes Copper World (fully permitted, 20-year mine life, 85kt annual Cu production, $1.1B NPV8%) and Cactus (updated PFS underway, 103kt annual Cu production), consolidating a major copper district in Arizona.
Mason project in Nevada offers 27-year mine life and potential to be the third largest copper mine in the U.S., with pre-feasibility study completion targeted for H2 2027.
Project development, partnerships, and financial initiatives
Copper World project secured a $600M strategic investment from Mitsubishi for a 30% JV interest, providing external validation, financial flexibility, and deferring major capital outlays until 2028.
Enhanced precious metals streaming agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals modernizes terms and provides up to $230M in funding, with contingent payments tied to future expansions.
Capital intensity for Copper World and Cactus is among the lowest in the Americas, supporting high-return, low-risk project development.
Key 2026 objectives include sanctioning Copper World, advancing New Ingerbelle and Mason studies, increasing throughput at Constancia and Copper Mountain, and executing extensive exploration at Snow Lake.
Maintains a strong balance sheet with over $1B in net debt reduction since 2023, $1,045M in liquidity, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation and debt management.
