Summary
Graham Richardson, CFO of Faraday Copper (TSX:FDY – OTCQX:CPPKF), joins me to provide a big picture overview of the key exploration and development objectives and shifting workstreams now that Faraday has entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the proposed acquisition of BHP's San Manuel Property, adjacent to their Copper Creek Project in Arizona. This is truly a transformational transaction, which once closed, consolidates two adjacent and complementary assets in the heart of the Arizona copper corridor, at a time when sourcing of critical minerals within the USA is essential. We discuss how combining the historic open pit San Manuel Mine and robust Kalamazoo underground assets with Copper Creek Project’s at-surface open pit breccias and underground porphyry assets at American Eagle and Keel creates a multi-asset copper district in the USA; and one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in North America. Strategic Rationale Significant resource potential: The combined project would have the potential to become a multi-generational copper district delivering made-in-America copper. Accelerates pathway to production: Opportunity to leverage the private land position of San Manuel to facilitate the potential for expedited copper cathode production from the combined projects. Flexibility through private land and infrastructure: Additional ~27,000 acres of private land for site facilities and access to existing regional infrastructure, including road, rail, gas and power. Centralizes infrastructure and reduces environmental footprint: The proximity of Copper Creek and San Manuel allows for the potential to leverage existing infrastructure and for future facilities to be shared between the projects, reducing the overall environmental footprint while enhancing c…
