VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Capstone Copper Corp. (“Capstone” or the “Company”) (TSX:CS) (ASX:CSC) is pleased to announce that The Copper Mark has been awarded to our Pinto Valley site in the United States. All amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Pinto Valley has the only operating mill in the prolific Globe-Miami mining district of Arizona. Receipt of The Copper Mark at this operation recognizes responsible mining practices in one of the oldest and most productive mining districts in the United States.
The Pinto Valley site is Capstone’s third site globally to receive the award, following receipt of The Copper Mark at our Mantoverde and Mantos Blancos sites in Chile in 2023.
The Copper Mark is the leading assurance framework for copper, created to demonstrate responsible production practices and the industry’s contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Copper Mark uses a rigorous site-level assessment process to independently verify whether individual copper-producing sites have responsible production practices using 33 criteria across three areas: Environmental, Social, and Governance.
Cashel Meagher, Capstone’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I would like to congratulate our entire team on this esteemed milestone. Receipt of The Copper Mark at Pinto Valley is a testament of our commitment to transparency and responsible production. The assurance and re-evaluation process aligns with our dedication to all stakeholders, including our employees, local communities, governments, and the environment. At a time when copper has a critical part to play in the global energy transition, we recognize our role in responsible production to meet growing demand.”
Wendy King, Capstone’s SVP, Risk, ESG and General Counsel, commented: “The Copper Mark serves as a powerful advocate for transparency and accountability, reinforcing the value we place on responsible production. At Capstone we view The Copper Mark as an iterative process, where the real value has been the improvement in our organizational capacity required to achieve the award and the continued evolution in the future. We take pride in the achievements of our Pinto Valley and Chilean sites in receipt of The Copper Mark, and we actively strive to replicate this success at Cozamin, in Mexico.”
