Faraday Copper Announces Positive Metallurgical Results and Confirms High Copper Recovery Through Coarse Grind and Flotation

Rhea-AI Summary

Faraday Copper Corp. (CPPKF) announced positive metallurgical results from its Copper Creek project in Arizona. The program, conducted by ALS Metallurgy with Ausenco Engineering oversight, achieved 95.0% copper rougher recoveries using Coarse Particle Flotation (CPF) technology.

Key findings include the ability to maintain high copper recoveries at a 350 micron primary grind with CPF scavenging, comparable to conventional flotation at 200 micron grind. This breakthrough could lead to significant mill throughput increases and approximately 50% reduction in ball mill grinding energy.

The tests demonstrated excellent metallurgical performance with locked cycle copper recoveries above 92% to a concentrate grade of about 31% copper. The company plans to incorporate these results into an updated technical study in the second half of 2025, following the completion of ongoing Phase III drilling program which has already conducted over 30,000 metres since the last Mineral Resource Estimate.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2025 / Faraday Copper Corp. ("Faraday" or the "Company") (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results of its metallurgical program for the Copper Creek project in Arizona ("Copper Creek"). The metallurgical program utilized samples from the Phase III drill program and was conducted by ALS Metallurgy (Kamloops, BC), with oversight by Ausenco Engineering.

The primary focus of the program was to evaluate the metallurgical performance of potential open pit mill feed material from the American Eagle area through coarse particle flotation across an extended spectrum of grind sizes. Application of a coarse grind and coarse particle flotation offers the potential to significantly increase mill throughput and reduce processing cost, compared to those contained in the Copper Creek Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")¹.

This metallurgical program tested samples and composites from open pit domains by blending material types to determine performance ranges under various mill feed conditions. Expanding upon previous test work on the current resource area, the program was designed for comprehensive data collection related to grind size optimization, mineralogical composition, variability testing, conventional flotation and coarse particle flotation via hydrofloat.

Highlights

• Achieved copper rougher recoveries² of 95.0% on a sulphide composite from the American Eagle area at a substantially larger grind size³ than that assumed in the PEA by applying Coarse Particle Flotation ("CPF"), resulting in the following potential benefits:

  • Coarse grind and CPF can be used to maintain high copper recoveries across a full spectrum of feed grades. Applying a 350 micron ("µm") primary grind with CPF scavenging returns comparable copper recovery to a conventional flotation circuit with a 200 µm primary grind³.

  • Significant increase to mill throughput.

  • Reduced ball mill grinding energy by approximately 50%.

• Continued to demonstrate excellent metallurgical performance on samples from the near-surface material at the American Eagle area, measuring locked cycle copper recoveries above 92% to a copper concentrate grade of approximately 31% copper.

• Metallurgical test work confirms a coarse grind and high copper recovery flowsheet with a highly marketable, clean concentrate.

• Data for the entire deposit supports the potential for low capital intensity and a favourable operating cost profile. This data will underpin future technical studies.

Zach Allwright, VP Projects and Evaluations, stated "The metallurgical results represent a pivotal point in the technical advancement of Copper Creek. The ability to maintain very high copper recoveries at a coarse primary grind across a wide range of feed grades demonstrates the near-term potential for enhanced project economics. The test work completed to date demonstrates that the mill throughput rate could be significantly increased in a capital efficient manner, while reducing operating costs and reinforcing our commitment to sustainability. We are excited to incorporate our recent drilling success and optimized flowsheet approach into an updated technical study in the second half of 2025."

Next Steps

The outcomes of this program will be assimilated with historical test work to form the basis of the flowsheet design criteria and infrastructure considerations for future technical studies. The steps to continue to enhance the value of the project include:

• Exploration Drilling: Phase III drilling continues and is focused on growth of the open pit mineral resource. The Company has conducted over 30,000 metres of drilling since the last Mineral Resource Estimate was published¹, with the discovery of new zones of mineralization and a portfolio of untested targets, this represents a significant opportunity to enhance the project value.

• Metallurgical Assessments: Test work will continue on new targets, as material becomes available, to maintain deposit-wide data coverage and ensure optimization opportunities are realized in future technical studies.

• Mineral Resource and Technical Report: The Company anticipates a data cut-off by the end of the first quarter of 2025 and the release of an updated technical study in the second half of 2025. This report will incorporate updated geological, geotechnical, economic and metallurgical datasets.

• Waste Rock Characterization: To complement existing material geochemical data and evaluations, laboratory and field-based characterization programs will take place to optimize waste management strategies.

• Environmental Data: The Company continues to expand its environmental baseline data collection program including water sampling, installation of additional monitoring wells, stream gauges, and piezometers in drill holes. The program also encompasses site-specific meteorological and air data collection, along with archaeological, cultural, flora and fauna studies.

Metallurgical Program Technical Details

Overview

The metallurgical program utilized samples from the Phase III drill program, to complement and expand upon previous test work as outlined in the PEA¹. The metallurgical program was conducted by ALS Metallurgy (Kamloops, BC), with oversight by Ausenco Engineering.

This test work program was designed to complete the following scope with focus on the potential open pit mill feed material:

• Semi-Autogenous Grinding ("SAG") mill comminution and Bond Mill Work Index ("BMWi") testing completed on all samples.

• Mineralogical composition assessment on eight sulphide variability samples.

• Detailed mineralogy particle mineral analysis completed on sulphide master composite and coarse fractions of CPF sulphide composite.

• Flotation testing on sulphide composites and variability samples.

• Hydrofloat testing on a CPF sulphide composite.

The outcomes of this program will be integrated with the historical test work to form the basis of the process design criteria for the updated technical study expected to be released in the second half of 2025.

Sample Selection and Spatial Context

The metallurgical program comprised seven samples representing potential open pit material at the American Eagle area and Area 51, and one sample from Old Reliable. Two composites were compiled to challenge metallurgical performance and demonstrate deposit-wide application of coarse particle flotation. The American Eagle master composite was compiled from sulphide materials to reflect a lower grade composite than previously tested sulphide composites. The American Eagle area CPF composite was designed to reflect a lower grade mill feed scenario and a blend of approximately 50:50 breccia with vein-hosted mineralized material.

Samples were acquired from the Phase III drill program, which is focused on expansion of near-surface mineral resources in the American Eagle area.

Sample details are presented in Table 1 and sample locations are presented in Figure 1 below.

Comminution Results

SAG and ball mill energy assessment tests were conducted on the variability samples, which included industry standard SAG mill comminution and BMWi measurements, respectively. Results of the Phase 3 program and previous phases are presented in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Comminution Results

Material	A x b		BMWi (kwh/t)
	Min / Max	Average	Min / Max	Average
Sulphide - Phase 1	37 / 51	41	12.2 / 15.6	14.3
Sulphide - Phase 2	30 / 44	37	12.3 / 14.3	13.3
Sulphide - Phase 3	28 / 45	38	13.5 / 15.3	14.1

The outcomes of the comminution test work indicate that the new materials fall within the design tolerances of the PEA. The Old Reliable sample showed a higher resistance to impact breakage with an Axb value of 28, however the American Eagle area and Area 51 were similar to previous results. The BMWi results were similar to the averages measured in the previous programs, demonstrating consistent comminution expectations across the known deposits.

Flotation Performance - Sulphide Material

Flotation testing on the American Eagle area master composite ("MC") culminated in a locked cycle test conducted at a primary grind size of 218 µm. Similar process conditions to the locked cycle test conducted in the Phase 2 program were applied to the Phase 3 program. Results are presented in Table 3 below.

The American Eagle area master composite returned similar metallurgical performance as the two sulphide composites from the current open pit resource that were previously tested (refer to the Company's news release dated February 26, 2024). Compared to the previously tested sulphide composites, the difference in copper recoveries can be attributed to the lower feed grade and slightly higher losses to the cleaner tailings. The near-surface samples of the American Eagle area have lower modelled molybdenum concentrations than at depth and in other areas of the deposit, and as a result, molybdenum recovery was not tracked in these flotation tests.

Open circuit cleaner flotation tests were conducted on each of the variability samples. The developed conditions were applied, which included low dosages of potassium amyl xanthate ("PAX") as a collector, regrinding and up to three stages of dilution cleaning. Moderate dosages of lime were applied in the cleaner circuit.

Chalcopyrite is the dominant copper-bearing sulphide and occurs together with minor amounts of bornite; both recover well in a flotation circuit. This chalcopyrite dominant mineralization is representative of the American Eagle area and the wider open pit resource. Area 51 samples (24-MET01 and 24-MET02) contain chalcocite together with bornite, chalcopyrite and pyrite (Figures 1 and 5), which explains the different performance compared to the American Eagle area. Copper concentrate grades averaged 26% copper when including vein-hosted material from the American Eagle area and pyrite and chalcocite-rich breccia material from Area 51. Results are presented in Table 4 below.

Molybdenum recovery was not targeted or tracked in a portion of these flotation tests as the feed grade was deemed too low to result in appreciable upgrading to the bulk flotation concentrate. Only two samples contained significant levels of molybdenum. In these two tests molybdenum recovery to the bulk concentrate averaged 89.1%.

Coarse Grind and CPF Performance Overview

Flotation performance at coarse primary grind sizes was investigated using conventional 4-litre and 30-litre Denver-type laboratory flotation cells, and a lab scale Eriez Hydrofloat cell. A composite was assembled with a greater portion of MET-07 sample (vein hosted mineralization), so that the feed material was lower grade, therefore, resulting in a more challenging composite for achieving high copper recoveries.

CPF is a technique that combines the upward flow of a hydrosizer with flotation bubbles to recover coarse mineralized particles that would otherwise report to tailings in conventional froth flotation. It can be applied in a scavenging application on rougher flotation tails that have passed through hydrocyclone size separation to remove lower grade fine material. The coarse material enters a hydrofloat cell, which recovers a coarse scavenger concentrate. The thickened underflow, depleted of any fines, is essentially free-draining and can be dewatered using a low energy system such as a sieve bend screen or a high-capacity belt filter.

Two bulk rougher flotation tests with hydrofloat scavenging were conducted on the Phase 3 CPF composite at primary grind sizes ranging from 300 µm to 330 µm. In addition, four conventional bench scale flotation tests were conducted over a wider primary grind size range. Results are presented in Table 5 and Figure 2, along with results from the Phase 2 program for comparison. Note that the Phase 2 composite originated from zones further north that were comprised of higher-grade samples and contained less vein hosted material.

Notes to Table 5:

1. In tests with hydrofloat, conventional rougher tailings were classified such that approximately 50% of the mass reported to a +150 µm or +212 µm fraction with elevated copper levels. These coarse tailings were then treated in a laboratory hydrofloat cell which recovered an additional coarse concentrate.

2. Only the conventional rougher component of T31 and T32 were completed, hydrofloat results were estimated from assay by size data and T26 and T30 hydrofloat performance.

CPF performance confirms that a coarser grind can be applied to material originating from the American Eagle area without compromising copper recoveries. CPF may provide a greater recovery benefit to lower grade feeds that have more disseminated chalcopyrite textures, as demonstrated by the difference in performance compared to the Phase 2 composite. Applying CPF scavenging on the rougher tails of a 350 µm primary grind appears to return the same overall rougher circuit copper recovery as a conventional flotation circuit with a 200 µm primary grind as proposed in the PEA.

Figure 2: Coarse Grinding and CPF Performance

The CPF concentrate requires regrinding prior to returning to the rougher feed or similar conventional flotation stage. A simplified flowsheet incorporating CPF is presented in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Potential Coarse Grind Flowsheet

Additional grinding energy is only applied to a targeted 6% of the feed mass returning as CPF concentrate. While the incremental copper recovery improvement is modest, a significant benefit of the CPF circuit is removing tonnage from the tailings pressure filtration circuit. In this arrangement, approximately 57% of the total mill tailings report to the fines dewatering circuit. The free-draining hydrofloat tailings can be dewatered by more cost effective means¹ such as a dewatering screen or a belt filter. The tailings processing opportunity of this flowsheet is presented in Figure 4. Preliminary results suggest that a CPF circuit could potentially allow for an increase in throughput to 45,000 tonnes per day or more without increasing the tailings pressure filtration requirements¹.

Figure 4: Tailings Processing Comparison between PEA Conventional Flotation and CPF Addition

Concentrate Quality

Final bulk concentrates were assayed for minor elements of interest. Results are presented in Table 6 below. Two of the sulphide variability samples produced concentrates that contained sufficient molybdenum levels to support the inclusion of a copper-molybdenum separation circuit. The project considers that generation of a molybdenum concentrate may not be consistent over the mine life as not all areas are expected to have sufficient molybdenum in the feed. The proposed flowsheet and operation strategy incorporates flexibility to accommodate a molybdenum circuit that can be engaged in response to mill feed grade to maximize project value.

Gold in concentrate was elevated in sample MET-01, which was comprised of breccia hosted mineralization from the Starship breccia in Area 51. Gold contents in the American Eagle area concentrates were below minimum payable levels on average, while silver contents varied and were significant in some samples.

All arsenic contents were below penalty level limits and confirm previous test work, which concluded that the project demonstrated the potential to output a clean and highly marketable concentrate.

Note to Table 6: Other penalty elements such as antimony, bismuth and selenium were below penalty limits in the American Eagle area Master Composite. Mercury and fluorine were analyzed in the concentrate of a Phase 1 composite and also found to be low and below levels of smelter sensitivity and were therefore not investigated in this program.

Mineralogy Overview

Mineralogical composition assessments were completed on the variability samples by QEMSCAN. The results provide valuable confirmation of core logging interpretation and are consistent with geochemical assay results. The copper deportment data helps to understand metallurgical performance. Copper deportment by mineral is presented in Figure 5 below.

Figure 5: Copper Deportment by Mineral

In the Old Reliable and American Eagle areas, copper is primarily contained in chalcopyrite, with minor amounts of bornite. In the Starship breccia at Area 51, more chalcocite and covellite is present.

The ratio of pyrite to copper sulphides can be an important processing parameter, as values below three tend to have lower regrinding energy requirements and positive implications on metallurgical performance. The pyrite to copper sulphide ratios of variability samples are displayed in Figure 6 relative to copper feed grade, along with values from sulphide samples tested in previous programs. Generally, the material is low in pyrite content, with 82% of the sulphide samples tested having ratios of pyrite to copper sulphides of less than 2:1.

Only two outliers with elevated pyrite exist in the sample set. These are MET-01 sample from the Starship breccia at Area 51 with elevated pyrite together with chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite, and a sample from the Bald zone (Phase 2 metallurgical program) which has pyrite and chalcopyrite.

Figure 6: Ratio of Pyrite to Copper Sulphides - Variability Samples

A more detailed particle mineral analysis was conducted on the CPF composite at a primary grind sizing of 318 µm. The liberation characteristics were favourable and supports the metallurgical performance measured in flotation tests. Specifically:

• The size distribution of the copper sulphide grains was coarse, measured at 149 µm P80³.

• Although the overall copper sulphide mineral liberation was approximately 49%, about 87% of the mineral mass was in grains, which contained 50% or more copper sulphide mineral. The high quality of the grains allows for successful bubble attachment in froth flotation.
