The Marathon Copper-Palladium Project is described as one of the largest undeveloped copper-palladium resources in North America and is expected to be a source of copper, palladium and other critical metals for electrification and decarbonization. The Marathon Property covers approximately 36,398 hectares (364km2).
The Feasibility Study, with an effective date of November 1, 2024, estimated a Net Present Value (using a 6% discount rate) of C$1.07 billion, an Internal Rate of Return of 28%, and a 1.9-year payback based on the 3-yr trailing average metal prices at the effective date of the Technical Report. Over the anticipated 13-year mine life, the Marathon Project is expected to produce approximately: 2,161,000 ounces of palladium, 532 million lbs. of copper, 488,000 ounces of platinum, 160,000 ounces of gold and 3,051,000 ounces of silver in payable metals.
