  • Completed rebranding of the Company to Faraday Copper and new directors elected to the Board of Directors on April 19, 2022.
  • Continued to advance the Copper Creek project, including:
    • Extended and completed Phase I drill campaign from a 5,000-meter eight-hole program to a 6,000-meter nine-hole program, testing both high-grade breccia hosted and porphyry style copper mineralization;
    • Announced results for three and five of the nine-hole Phase I drill program , on September 7, 2022, and October 17, 2022, respectively, which confirmed the high-grade nature of the near-surface breccia-hosted mineralization, identified lower-grade mineralization previously classified as waste, intersected high grade mineralization at Keel, and expanded mineralization at American Eagle. Assay results remain pending for the final hole.
    • Announced confirmation of historic, high-grade copper intercepts and identified mineralized zones in previously unsampled diamond drill core adjacent to known, high-grade breccia intercepts on April 13, 2022.
    • Completed a generative exploration study that provided a portfolio of targets with a plan to drill select targets as part of the Phase II drill program.
    • Completed preliminary review of metallurgical data focused on the validation of historic floatation test work, comminution data, copper-molybdenum separation and to identify opportunities ahead of the technical study.
    • Performed ongoing geotechnical work in parallel with the Phase I drill campaign. This program provided open pit design and mine sequencing parameters, underground stability analysis, cavability assessment and hydrogeological data collection.
    • Completed high-resolution topographic survey data collection for the resource area and continued historical data digitization and survey program.
    • Initiated framework and data collection for proactive environmental baseline monitoring program with support of external experts, including the installation of flow meters in active drainages and piezometers in drill holes.
    • Continued stakeholder mapping and community engagement as part of developing the Company's sustainability strategy, including three open houses with the communities of San Manuel, Mammoth, and Oracle.
  • Ongoing strategic review of the Contact Copper project to support a new geological model and an updated MRE, including:
    • Completed fieldwork mapping of over eight square kilometers ("km") on the New York area, Copper Ridge area and new magnetic geophysical targets.
      • A total of 294 rock chip samples were gathered during mapping. Anomalous, visual copper mineralization was found in 158 samples.
    • Completed drone magnetic survey of the Project that spanned 190 line km spaced at 150 m, which identified three new targets.
    • Initiated a soil sampling program covering the project area for 1,275 samples spaced at 50 m.
    • Relogged and reinterpreted over 50 km of historical core .
    • Ongoing review of historical technical reports and data, including metallurgical data.
    • Continued analysis of the historical data, additional field mapping and metallurgical work and obtained additional geophysical data to better inform drill targets.
    • Generated a new geological model.
    • Following completion of the current work programs, the Company intends to complete a new target generation process for potential drill targets to be tested during a Phase I drilling program.

Upcoming Milestones

  • Q2 2023 - Updated MRE and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for Copper Creek
  • Q3 2023 - Updated MRE for Contact Copper

The Company is a resource exploration stage company and does not generate any revenue and has been mainly relying on equity-based financing to fund its operations. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a net working capital of $11,881,749 (December 31, 2021 - $3,581,323).

Although the Company has a history of obtaining funding when needed, readers are cautioned that there can be no assurance that management's plan to raise further financing will be successful, as it is dependent on prevailing capital market conditions.
