COMMENT

True North Copper’s Managing Director, Marty Costello said:

We have now met all conditions precedent associated with Tranche 1 of our loan facility with Nebari. This achievement clears the way for the first drawdown of USD18 million, which is scheduled for this Friday, 9 February 2024.

We are looking forward to partnering with Nebari as we bring our Cloncurry Copper Project into production.

We are incredibly proud to be working alongside international top-tier funding partners like Nebari and Tembo Capital and our toll processing and offtake partner Glencore International AG, who are all global leaders in their field. Their expertise and support have been crucial in our development and demonstrate what I believe is a strong vote of confidence in our Cloncurry Copper Project and its potential.

We’re excited about restarting mining at the Cloncurry Copper Project, at a juncture when the global market is facing a looming copper supply gap.
