IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (TSX-V:IB, OTCQB:IAALF) has announced the completion of final contract work and discontinuation of operations at its Massachusetts-based beryllium-aluminum alloy facility. The company is now focusing on growing its Copper Alloys division in Franklin, Indiana, anticipating improved free cash flow from this strategic shift.

Since October 2022, the Copper Alloys division has seen favorable trends in revenues and gross profit, largely due to the consolidation of operations into one plant. The division operates a vertically integrated copper alloy production facility in Indiana, which has shown improved performance since navigating COVID-related market disruptions and completing facility modernization in 2022.

CEO Mark A. Smith cited strong demand for copper and copper alloys, with worldwide production up over 25% in ten years, as a key factor in this strategic decision. The company expects to incur charges related to the Massachusetts plant closure but is negotiating to minimize costs.

Mark Smith's ownership has increased from 17,064,238 to 22,474,809 shares, representing approximately 19.81% of the company's outstanding shares. The issuances are considered related party transactions but fall within exemptions for valuation and minority approval requirements.

The deemed issue price of C$0.07 per share brings the total consideration to C$378,739.97. Mr. Smith acquired the shares for investment purposes and may adjust his holdings as needed.
