What's next?

Strategy and priorities

FOCUS ON SHAREHOLDER VALUE IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MANNER

Focus on shareholder value creation in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner in co-existence with all stakeholders including the local community.

Geographical footprint - Logistically well positioned

REOPENING OF THE VISCARIA MINE

To develop the Viscaria Copper Project into a "green"

copper mine producing up to 25k tonnes of copper per annum. Attractive concentrate to regional smelters.

VALUE-ADDING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE ARVIDSJAUR PROJECT

Copperstone owns assets in Arvidsjaur including inferred resources according to PERC 2017 at Granliden/Svartliden** of 114k tons Copper, 2,000 kg gold, 155,000 kg silver and 32k tons zinc. The area has been explored during the last 50 years by Lundin Mining, Boliden and Copperstone with some 273 drill holes.

Market overview: Global outlook

Approx. 2/3 of the global copper resources are found in the Americas. In a global context, Western Europe, only accounts for 4%, while demanding approx. 14%; consequently there is a substantial gap between "domestically mined ore" and the European demand

Identified global copper resources

  • Western Europe only account for 4% of global copper reserves

  • China accounts for half of the demand for copper. Europe accounts for approx. 14% of global demand

Strong demand outlook - Supply side disruption

  • Copper price is trading around 6-8 years highs 7,500 USD/ton

  • Wood MacKenzie predicts a 40% increase in global copper demand between 2019-2040.
