  • The Company is commencing a public succession planning process for its President and Chief Executive Officer, Gil Clausen. Mr. Clausen has been engaged with the Board for the past year on executive succession planning as he begins to prepare for his long-contemplated retirement. The Company has engaged Korn Ferry to assist with the process, which will include a comprehensive global executive search. Mr. Clausen will remain as President and CEO until a successor is in place.

 

Gil Clausen, Copper Mountain's President and CEO commented, "Our third quarter clearly did not meet our expectations. Lower grade and lower mill throughput impacted our copper output. We experienced a grade reduction as most of the ore processed in the third quarter came from the lower-grade North Pit as opposed to the planned Phase 4 of the main pit. Our higher-grade main pit Phase 4 ore release lagged due to spotty ore continuity in the upper benches of that pushback. In the second half of September, we advanced mining to consistently large zones of continuous higher-grade ore in Phase 4. We expect that result to continue throughout the fourth quarter and solidify into higher-grade ore production through 2023. The North Pit ore impacted recoveries due to the higher oxide content in the upper benches of pioneering that pit. We also encountered a SAG mill steel grinding ball quality issue, forcing reduced milling rates for about a month. The balls were breaking apart in the mill, significantly affecting throughput during August and into September. Overall, a disappointing quarter and nine months of 2022."

"However, we are now past an inflection point in the operation with main waste movement of Phase 4 completed. Ore grades are higher, recoveries are up, and the North Pit development has advanced beyond the higher oxide transitional zone. Our project team has also completed all our plant optimization projects. The mill has been operating at the designed 45,000 tpd throughput rate and achieving daily rates up to 53,000 tpd in October, with AIC reduced materially.  In the fourth quarter, we expect AIC to improve significantly and be in the US$2.90 to US$3.10 per pound range from our operational turnaround and benefit from the higher grades from Phase 4, where we expect an average of 0.27% Cu in Q4."

"Although we experienced challenges at the mine, we completed several primary corporate objectives: growing reserves and resources at the Copper Mountain Mine, including a 70% increase in measured and indicated mineral resources compared to the prior technical report dated November 30, 2020; publishing a new NI 43-101 life of mine/ mill expansion study to 65,000 tpd; announcing a definitive agreement for the sale of the Eva Copper project; and publishing the Company's inaugural ESG report" added Mr. Clausen.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING RESULTS

 

Production

The Copper Mountain Mine produced 13.2 million pounds of copper, 6,053 ounces of gold, and 64,331 ounces of silver in Q3 2022, compared to 22.4 million pounds of copper, 7,449 ounces of gold, and 134,987 ounces of silver in Q3 2021. Production was lower during the quarter due to lower mill feed grade, lower mill throughput and lower copper recoveries.

Mill feed grade in Q3 2022 was 0.24% Cu as compared to 0.37% Cu in Q3 2021. Mill feed was delivered from Phase 4 (approximately 40%), and the North Pit (approximately 60%) during the quarter. Phase 4 delivered higher grade tonnes as planned, but lower tonnages of higher grade were present at the top of the deposit, thus more North Pit ore was used for mill feed than planned, resulting in the lower overall grade in the quarter.  Phase 4 grades averaged 0.28% Cu during the quarter compared to North Pit grades averaging 0.21% Cu. Ore feed grades are expected to improve for the remainder of the year, with the higher-grade Phase 4 ore being the primary ore supply for the remainder of 2022 as the Company begins to mine the bulk of the deposit. Phase 4 higher grade ore is also planned to be the main ore supply for 2023, driving increased production. Phase 4 has an average grade of 0.33% Cu.

The mill processed a total of 3.4 million tonnes of ore during the quarter as compared to 3.4 million tonnes in Q3 2021. The crushing circuit was optimized in the quarter and consistently achieved the designed rate to allow the mill to reach 45,000 tpd during the second half of the quarter, producing a large crushed-ore stockpile in front of the mill.  Mill throughput improved following availability of crushed ore from the crushing circuit.  However, a SAG ball quality issue was encountered in mid-August which restricted mill throughput until the SAG ball charge was fully replaced in mid-September. Following resolution of this issue, the mill demonstrated the ability to process the targeted 45,000 tpd, achieving daily tonnage rates up to 50,000 tpd in September.

Copper recovery was 74.4% in Q3 2022 as compared to 79.7% in Q3 2021. The milling of higher oxide material from the North Pit negatively impacted recovery. Higher oxide levels did project further than expected in the North Pit, but consistently reduced to normal levels in mill feed and blast hole samples, in the later part of the quarter. Copper recovery is expected to improve with lower oxides, the successful operation of the rougher flotation expansion, and optimization of the grinding circuit to achieve consistent fine grinds.

Mill availability averaged 89.0% for Q3 2022 as compared to 92.2% in Q3 2021. The largest scheduled annual mill shutdown was completed during the quarter, replacing SAG mill liners including the pulp lifters, upgrading site supply powerlines, and commissioning the rougher expansion project. The Ball Mill #3 feed modifications completed in Q2 2022 continue to perform well supporting stable mill production. 

Supply chain issues continue to impact the mine and the mill with low availabilities of supply, long deliveries due to low supply chain inventories, and lower quality product challenges. These challenges continue to be managed by the site team. 

Costs

C1 cash cost, AISC and AIC per pound of copper produced are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Performance Measures" in this press release.

C1 cash cost per pound of copper produced, net of precious metal credits, for Q3 2022 was US$3.70, as compared to US$1.50 in Q3 2021. The variance in C1 cash costs for Q3 2022, as compared to Q3 2021, was due to several items, including:

• Lower mill throughput, lower mill feed grade and lower copper recovery, which resulted in lower production; and
• Inflationary pressures, which increased the cost of fuel, grinding media/steel, explosives and mobile equipment repairs.

With production levels expected to increase for the remainder of the year, the Company anticipates C1 cash cost per pound of copper produced to improve materially in the fourth quarter of 2022.

AISC per pound of copper produced for Q3 2022 was US$4.50, compared to US$1.77 in Q3 2021.  AISC carries forward from C1 cash costs with the addition of $13.9 million in sustaining capital, lease, and applicable administration expenditures in Q3 2022 compared to $7.7 million in Q3 2021. The increase in AISC is carried forward from higher C1 cash costs and higher sustaining capital of $10.3 million in Q3 2022 compared to sustaining capital of $4.7 million in Q3 2021.

Sustaining capital costs for Q3 2022 were higher than Q3 2021 mainly due to $6.8 million of expenditures for the mine's continued environmental water management systems currently underway. The mine's continued environmental water management projects are substantially advanced and are expected to be fully completed in Q4 2022. 

AIC per pound of copper produced for Q3 2022 was US$4.95, as compared to US$2.17 in Q3 2021. AIC carries forward from AISC with the addition of $7.6 million in deferred stripping as compared to $11.3 million deferred stripping in Q3 2021. Deferred stripping costs in Q3 2022 were from regular development activities, as the Company continued to advance the development of the higher-grade Phase 4 pushback of the Main Pit.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

In Q3 2022, revenue was $58.3 million, net of pricing adjustments and treatment charges, compared to $137.2 million in Q3 2021. Revenue in Q3 2022 is based on the sale of 12.3 million pounds of copper, 4,902 ounces of gold, and 59,790 ounces of silver.  This compares to 24.4 million pounds of copper, 8,308 ounces of gold, and 142,128 ounces of silver sold in Q3 2021. The decrease in revenue was due to lower quantities of all metal sold and at a lower average price. Lower quantities of metal sold was a result of lower metal production in Q3 2022 compared to Q3 2021.

Cost of sales in Q3 2022 was $69.4 million as compared to $70.5 million for Q3 2021. The elevated cost of sales despite lower revenues can largely be attributed to cost increases associated with fuel, mill grinding media/steel, explosives, and mobile equipment repairs, as well as increased maintenance contractor support required to assist with managing both COVID-19 related absences and above-normal workforce absences. 

The Company generated a gross loss of $11.1 million in Q3 2022 as compared to a gross profit of $66.6 million for Q3 2021. The Company reported a net loss of $39.4 million for Q3 2022 as compared to a net income of $25.8 million for Q3 2021. The variance in net income for Q3 2022, as compared to Q3 2021, was due to several items, including:

• Lower revenue in Q3 2022 due to a 50% decrease in pounds of copper sold in Q3 2022 as compared to Q3 2021, as well as lower average realized copper prices;
• Lower revenue in Q3 2022 due to a 43% decrease in gold and silver revenues in Q3 2022 as compared to Q3 2021 due to lower ounces of gold and silver sold at lower prices; and
• Elevated cost of sales in Q3 2022 of $69.4 million as compared to $70.5 million in Q3 2021, despite significantly lower revenues, largely due to inflationary pressures.

The Company recorded an adjusted net loss ⁽¹⁾ of $22.9 million in Q3 2022, or $(0.11) per share ⁽¹⁾, compared to adjusted net income ⁽¹⁾ of $41.4 million in Q3 2021, or $0.20 per share ⁽¹⁾.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Copper Mountain Mine, Canada

During the quarter, the Company continued to advance the expansion to the rougher flotation circuit, its final plant improvement and optimization project planned at the mine in 2022. Subsequent to the quarter-end, in early October, the rougher flotation circuit was successfully commissioned, which is expected to now support higher recoveries, especially on slower kinetic ore types.

The prior plant improvement and optimization projects completed earlier this year at the mine include the installation of an additional large column flotation cell to increase cleaner circuit capacity, which was completed and fully commissioned during the second quarter. The large new flotation cell provides additional cleaner circuit capacity to handle higher mill feed grades at higher tonnage rates. The new filter press was also installed and commissioned during the year. This second filter press will allow for maintaining design mill tonnage rates during extended periods of higher grades, eliminating the requirement to reduce mill tonnage as was experienced in 2021. The new filter will also fully support the planned increased production levels in 2023 at any grade. All projects were completed without lost time injuries.

Exploration Update

Canada

A large resource expansion drilling program was completed at the Copper Mountain Mine earlier this year. Data from this successful drilling program were used to update the mineral resource and mineral reserve models, resulting in a 57% increase in the copper mineral reserve and an updated life-of-mine plan, as reported in the Company's press release dated September 28, 2022.

Copper-gold mineralization at the Copper Mountain Mine occurs over a 5 x 2 km area and remains open both laterally and at depth, providing further reserve expansion potential. Multiple historical drill holes end in copper-gold mineralization and geophysical data suggest that the mineralizing system extends well below the current known resource.

To evaluate this upside potential, a geoscience-based target definition program began in June 2022. This program aims to define new drill targets outboard of, and below, the current resource, particularly high grade "root zones", like the deeper parts of the Red Chris porphyry in British Columbia (also an alkalic porphyry and of similar age), and deposits in the Cadia-Ridgeway alkalic porphyry district in Australia. The 2022 program includes relogging and resampling of historical drill core for multi-element geochemical analysis and petrographic study and the creation of a new 3D geological model of the deposit. Reinterpretation of historical geophysical data, including IP chargeability/resistivity data, magnetotelurics, and airborne magnetic/radiometric data is also ongoing, with additional geophysical surveys planned for early 2023. These geophysical data, together with geochemical and alteration/mineralization style data from drill holes will be used to rank and prioritize drill targets for testing in 2023. 

OUTLOOK

This section of the press release provides management's production and cost estimates for 2022. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this press release. AIC per pound of copper produced is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this press release.

As a result of production results to date in 2022, the Company now expects annual copper production to be in the range of 55 million to 60 million pounds compared to prior guidance of 65 million to 75 million pounds of copper. This revised estimate also reflects a week of unplanned downtime due to repair maintenance of the primary crusher in October. Such maintenance included regular planned annual maintenance, as well as additional required unplanned work to change worn bushings in the lower part of the crusher and machine eccentric. It is expected that production in the fourth quarter will increase as the Company is now mining higher grade ore from Phase 4 of the Main Pit.  When mining in the Phase 4 area, the Company has been experiencing grades of approximately 0.28% Cu, and has achieved the design capacity of 45,000 tpd, milling up to 53,000 tpd in October, as well as higher copper recoveries. The higher-grade Phase 4 ore is expected to be the main source of ore in the fourth quarter of 2022 and in 2023, with grades expected to average 0.27% and 0.33% Cu, respectively. Production in the fourth quarter is forecast to be the strongest quarter in 2022 and is expected to be 15 to 20 million pounds of copper.

The Company expects AIC to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022 to between US$2.90 and US$3.10 per pound because of increased production, minimal sustaining capital costs and minimal to no deferred stripping. In addition, several non-recurring expenses are now complete. Further, the Company has completed all plant improvement projects and therefore expects development capital to also be minimal in the fourth quarter of 2022. AIC for the full year 2022 is thus expected to be between US$4.25 and US$4.50 per pound which compares to prior guidance of between US$2.75 and US$3.25 per pound.

At this time, 2023 production guidance remains unchanged. The Company will announce its 2023 production and cost guidance in early 2023, as per usual practice.

Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-GAAP Performance Measures

This document includes certain non-GAAP performance measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These measures may differ from those used and may not be comparable to such measures as reported by other issuers. The Company believes that these measures are commonly used by certain investors, in conjunction with conventional IFRS measures, to enhance their understanding of the Company's performance. These performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures have been derived from the Company's financial statements and applied on a consistent basis. The calculation and an explanation of these measures is provided in the Company's MD&A and such measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements.

Cash Costs per Pound

Copper cash costs per pound is a key performance measure that management uses to monitor performance. Management uses these statistics to assess the performance and overall efficiency and effectiveness of mining operations. Cash costs is not an IFRS measure and, although it is calculated according to accepted industry practice, the Company's disclosed cash costs may not be directly comparable to other base metal producers. Cash costs per pound produced is calculated by dividing the aggregate of the applicable costs by copper pounds produced. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented.

C1 Cash Costs

C1 cash costs is a metric representing the cash cost per unit of extracting and processing the Company's principal metal product, copper, to a condition in which it may be delivered to customers net of gold and silver credits from concentrates sold.  It is provided in order to support peer group comparability and to provide investors and other stakeholders with additional information about the underlying cash costs of Copper Mountain and the impact of gold and silver credits on the operations' cost structure. C1 cash costs are relevant to understanding the Company's operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. When calculating costs associated with producing a pound of copper, the Company deducts gold and silver revenue credits as the production cost is reduced as a result of selling these products.

All-in Sustaining Costs (AISC)

AISC is an extension of C1 cash costs discussed above and is also a key performance measure used by management to measure performance. Management uses this measure to analyze margins achieved on existing assets while sustaining and maintaining production at current levels. Development capital, including deferred stripping and certain exploration costs are excluded from this definition as these are costs typically incurred to extend mine life or materially increase the productive capacity of existing assets, or for new operations. As this measure seeks to present a full cost of copper production associated with sustaining current operations, mining costs associated with sustaining capital, certain applicable corporate administration costs and mining equipment lease costs are included. 

All-in Costs (AIC)

AIC is an extended cash-based cost metric providing further information on the total cash, capital, and overhead outlay per unit of copper produced in both the short-term and over the full life cycle of the Company's operations. As a result, deferred stripping and mining costs allocated to the low-grade stockpile on a cash basis are included as these development activities are performed in support of future mining operations under the existing life-of-mine plan. As this measure seeks to present the total cost of copper production associated with sustaining current and future operations, it allows Copper Mountain to assess the ability to support current and future production from the generation of operating cash flows.

A reconciliation of site cash costs, C1 cash costs, AISC, and AIC is provided below:

Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income removes the effects of the following transactions from operating income as reported under IFRS:

• Pricing adjustments on concentrate and metal sales;
• Derivative gains/losses;
• Foreign exchange gains/losses; and
• Non-recurring transactions.

Management believes that these transactions do not reflect the underlying operational performance of the Company's mining operations and are also not indicative of future operating results. 

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP performance measures and represent net earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of the Company's performance and is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. The Company believes EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of debt service capacity and performance of its operations. 

Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further supplemental measure of the Company's performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is prepared by adjusting EBITDA to eliminate the impact of several items that are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain items of expense and deducting from EBITDA certain items of income that are not likely to recur or are not indicative of the Company's future operating performance consisting of:

• Pricing adjustments on concentrate and metal sales;
• Derivative gains/losses;
• Foreign exchange gains/losses; and
• Non-recurring transactions.

While some of the adjustments are recurring, other non-recurring expenses do not reflect the underlying performance of the Company's core mining business and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Furthermore, gains/losses on derivative instruments, and foreign currency translation gains/losses are not necessarily reflective of the underlying operating results for the reporting periods presented.
