Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper. “The signing of the definitive purchase agreement is terrific news for Canadian Copper and culminates a good faith multi-party negotiation since 2022. The Murray Brook resource contains 183 million pounds of copper, 1.07 billion pounds of zinc, 390 million pounds of lead, 42 million ounces of silver, and 339,000 ounces of gold and is in a tier 1 jurisdiction conducive to mine development.[1] This large 18 million tonne deposit is strategically situated within 10 km (Figure A) of a well-maintained concentrator facility and sits between two previous mining operations.
