US Copper Corp.

Climate Impact & Sustainability Data (2013, 2017-12-15 to 2018-03-02, 2022)

Reporting Period: 2013

Environmental Metrics

Climate Goals & Targets

Short-term Goals:
  • Drilling to expand the shallow mineralization at Engels.
  • Drilling at Superior to confirm Placer Amex drilling and address QA/QC concerns.

Environmental Challenges

  • Lack of documentation on sampling, security, and QA/QC for the Placer Amex assays.
  • Lack of sequential copper assay analysis demonstrating the proportion of copper that would be recovered by a heap-leach, SX-EW process for Engels.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Recommendations to obtain high-resolution topography, conduct a focused specific gravity test program, and re-submit Engels pulps for sequential copper analysis.

Environmental Achievements

  • Acid-base accounting indicates that neither the tailings produced from flotation testing nor existing tailings are acid producing.

Social Achievements

  • No serious outreach to the communities of interest has been undertaken so the full extent of support or opposition is not quantified.

Environmental Challenges

  • Limited information on rock quality is available for mine planning
  • Limited baseline sampling shows that applicable standards for water quality are not exceeded in the main stems of water bodies draining pre-existing historical mining impacts.
  • Permitting a new mine in the area is not precluded by existing legislation or land use regulations.
  • Community support for the Project will likely be mixed, with support from those residents interested in economic development and opposition from those who see no direct benefits.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Tetra Tech has assumed the bulk of the mining will be hard rock excavation, which requires drill and blast.
  • A full environmental review under both the state and federal regulations is anticipated as land management and ownership is divided between private and federal entities.
  • Proper communication and public relations with local communities, USFS personnel, and county and state officials can minimize the impact of environmental groups on development at the Property.

Environmental Challenges

  • Potential supply disruptions due to COVID-19 supply chain impacts and protests in Chile and Peru
  • Decreasing copper grades
  • Difficulty in finding easily mineable resources
  • Stringent permitting requirements for new discoveries in riskier jurisdictions
