Getty Copper Closes Flow-Through Private Placement, Raising C$15,023,478.78

Cyprium Metals has achieved key commissioning milestones at its Nifty Copper Complex in Western Australia as it advances heap leach operations and prepares for first copper cathode production. Executive chairman Matt Fifield said commissioning is progressing across the heap leach operation while pre-commissioning work on the solvent extraction and electrowinning plant nears completion, with targeted injection flow rates reached through direct injection leaching after more than a year of trials. Early results showed copper recovery responding quickly to acid injection, with copper-to-acid ratios performing better than initially anticipated, and grade control drilling reconciled within approximately 5% of the existing mineral resource block model. The company has established 212 production and monitoring wells, providing access to approximately 1.7 million tonnes of material and supporting an estimated six to eight months of planned production under conservative recovery assumptions. Remaining milestones before wet commissioning include installation of programmable logic controller controls and energisation of the SXEW plant, following the introduction of high-voltage power to the plant infrastructure.

Largo Inc. announced that Instituto do Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos of State of Bahia, Brazil, known as INEMA, has issued the environmental permit for development of the Gulçari A Norte, or GAN, pit and associated infrastructure at its Maracás Menchen Mine. The permit, issued under INEMA Portaria No. 35,482, includes a four-year license for implementation and operation of the GAN pit, along with a new waste rock stockpile, calcined tailings facility, expansion of the Dry Mag low grade dry magnetic ore stockpile, access roads and operational support areas, plus authorizations for vegetation suppression and fauna management. GAN is the second open pit in Largo's proposed mining sequence, adjacent to the north of the Campbell open pit, which has been the sole source of Largo's vanadium production since its start up 12 years ago, and the company said the new pit should extend production for multiple years, optimize mining plans, add operating flexibility and reduce operating risks by diversifying ore sources. The GAN deposit also contains copper, gold and platinum group metals, similar to the Campbell open pit, which began producing those metals as by-products in August 2026. GAN is one of five open pits in Largo's Maracás Menchen portfolio, which the company says has a resource base with potential to last more than 30 years at current production rates, and it is one of the deposits incorporated into the current 31-year life-of-mine plan. Executive Chairman and Co-CEO Alberto Arias called the approval strategically important as the Western World seeks additional sources of vanadium, copper and PGM, while Co-CEO James Bannantine said the permit strengthens the long-term fundamentals of the Maracás Menchen Mine and provides greater certainty around future mining areas.

Ivanhoe Mines announced third-quarter 2026 production results, with the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex in the DRC producing 76,401 tonnes of copper in saleable products. That total includes 61,506 tonnes of copper in anode from the on-site smelter, 2,347 tonnes of toll-treated copper in blister at the nearby Lualaba Copper Smelter, 5,645 tonnes of copper in slag concentrate and 6,904 tonnes of copper fines designated for sale. The company kept its 2026 production guidance range at 290,000 to 310,000 tonnes of copper in saleable products, with output trending toward the lower end of that range. The Kipushi Mine produced a record 77,147 tonnes of zinc in concentrate in the quarter, a 10% increase from the prior quarter, keeping it on track for the upper end of its 2026 guidance of 240,000 to 290,000 tonnes and cementing its place as the world's third-largest zinc mine in 2026. Kamoa-Kakula's new 60-MW on-site hybrid solar facility ramped up in September, cutting on-site diesel generator consumption by 40%, and power purchase agreements have been signed to double on-site hybrid solar capacity to 120 MW within 18 months. Ivanhoe will issue its Q3 2026 financial results after market close on November 3 and host an investor conference call on November 4.
