Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (TSX:CUM) is a Canadian based, high growth mining company focused on adding value through successful exploration, project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions. Maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure jurisdictions are key priorities for Copper Mountain's Management team.

Copper Mountain’s flagship asset is the 75% owned Copper Mountain mine located in southern British Columbia near the town of Princeton. The Company has a strategic alliance with Mitsubishi Materials Corporation who own the remaining 25%. The Copper Mountain mine commenced production in the summer of 2011, and has continued to improve its operations during the year; and attained design capacity in the summer of 2012. The 18,000 acre site has a resource of approximately 5 billion pounds of copper and remains open laterally and at depth. The mine has significant exploration potential that will need to be explored over the next few years to fully appreciate the properties full development potential.

Copper Mountain Video Presentation

The Copper Mountain project is located 20 km south of Princeton, BC an established mining town. The property consists of approximately 18,000 acres of prospective mining land held under a combination of 135 crown grants, 132 mineral claims, 14 mining licenses, 8 cell mineral claims and 12 fee simple lots. Copper Mountain is located in an area with well–developed infrastructure. The property is accessible by a combination of highways and paved roads, and it is close to the port of Vancouver that provides service for shipment of copper concentrates. The mine is a 20–minute drive from local communities that provide goods, services and personnel.

Resource Reserves

During 2007 and 2008 the company embarked on an extensive 106,000 meter drill program that increased the resources by 45%. A summary of the resource is in the table below:

Table 1 — Resource Summary

The updated resource estimated was prepared by Giroux Consultants Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia, an independent qualified person as defined by Canada's National Instrument 43–101. According to the author of the Giroux Report, delineated mineralization of the Copper Mountain Deposit is classified as a resource according to definitions from NI 43–101 and from CIM (2005). Methods used in determining and reporting the resources are consistent with CIM Best Practices Guidelines for the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves.

The development concept is fairly straightforward; the Company is combining three existing open pits into one large super pit over time. The mine has a brand new mobile mining fleet consisting of two Komatsu PC 8000 hydraulic shovels, thirteen 240 ton Komatsu 830E haul trucks, one Komatsu WA 1200 loader, two PV271 Atlas Copco rotary drills, one PV351 Atlas Copco rotary drill, and a fleet of support equipment. In addition, the mine recently acquired an Ex 5500 Hitachi hydraulic shovel, five 260 ton haul trucks, and a PV 351 drill.

The mine utilizes a conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation to produce copper concentrates with gold and silver credits. The mine processing plan focuses on processing the higher–grade ore in the first twelve years, with lower grade material being sent to stockpiles for blending and processing later in the mine's life. The facility is designed to operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year with a 92% mechanical availability including pre–scheduled downtime for equipment maintenance. Concentrates are exported via the port of Vancouver to Mitsubishi smelters in Japan for treatment and sale.

The company has an off take agreement with Mitsubishi Materials Corporation ('Mitsubishi'), where Mitsubishi have agreed to purchase 100% of the projects concentrate at LME spot rates at the time of settlement.

The Copper Mountain land package is over 18,000 acres with multiple prospective targets in and around the property. In 2008, the company succeed in finishing one of the largest drill programs in Canada (106,000 meters) and increased the resource estimate by 45% to 5 Billion pounds of copper. The goal of the program was achieved when the results confirmed continuity of mineralization between the pits. This identified new merged pit — known as the “Super Pit” — allows for a bigger, wider and deeper to access additional mineralization at depth.

In addition to the current reserves, significant exploration upside still exists on the Copper Mountain project. Exploration has been a successful endeavor onsite for nearly 100 years and the company is confident that it will continue to be so. The aim of the exploration program is to discover additional resources as numerous untested targets have been identified by a high resolution Titan 24 survey that was conducted in 2007. Interpretation of the geophysical properties is consistent with the geological model of hydrothermal feed that mineralization zones remain open in both directions along the trend lines and at depth.

The diagram below is a 2D cross section of the 3D chargeability model. Copper Mountain’s investment decision was based on the super pit outline at just over 200 meters. The Current mine plan merely scratches the surface of the visible anomalies that extend to depth. Copper Mountain will continue to test these deep anomalies and sees “blue sky” potential to develop a world class deposit upon successful proof of mineralization below the planned super pit outline.

Copper Mountain Mining Corp. strives to pursue sustainable development in our approach to business. We understand that our success depends on our ability to respect and protect the environment and enhance benefits to nearby communities.

We strive to be good neighbors and understand that our relationship with people, communities and society is one of mutual support and interdependence.
