Mining Stock Daily&#x27;s Ian Wagner speaks with Marimaca Copper CEO Hayden Locke at Deutsche Goldmesse in Frankfurt about the company’s transition from developer to future copper producer in Chile. Locke outlines the permitted Marimaca Oxide Project, its manageable sub-billion-dollar capex, and plans for financing, early works, and a potential 2027 construction decision. He also highlights Pampa Medina, a sediment-hosted copper discovery with oxide growth potential and a possible tier-one sulfide system, supported by a major drill campaign and an experienced Chilean project team.

Mining Stock Daily

Welcome back to Mining Stock Daily, Ian Wagner here live from Frankfurt at the Deutsche Goldmesse. We are joined now by one of the leading copper developers in South America. Marimaca Copper continues to grow, continues to expand. They trade on the TSX under the symbol MARI and host a market cap of roughly $1.07 billion Canadian. We are joined by Hayden Locke, CEO of Marimaca Copper. Hayden, welcome to Frankfurt and welcome to the podcast. Thanks very much for having me.

Yeah, appreciate it. Absolutely. So people probably know but anyone new just maybe give us kind of that overview of of Marimaca Copper and especially your projects down there in Chile. Marimaca is a really unique copper development story. We've got a project that is now permitted and we've delivered a DFS and confirmed that it's technically and economically a standout in the, you know, in the market and we're transitioning to construction in 2027 with a goal of becoming a, you know, a mid-tier copper producer, a small to mid-tier copper producer.

In the, in the short term. I don't think there's very many copper projects that are coming into production. Certainly none that we know of that can be financed without a major partner. So that's a really interesting, unique portion. But then I think what's really capturing the market's attention is this ongoing exploration potential. We've got arguably one of the best exploration geos in Chile leading our team and he's made multiple discoveries. But the most, the most recent one is we think potentially game changing.
