At a glance

What the record holds today. Every card names where it came from — a management representation is not an established fact, and the page never blurs the two.

Grade
roughly just under 0.5% copper equivalent after 10 years of mining with CPF pre-sorting
Management-stated Heye Daun Jun 2026
Capital needed
$1.5 billion capex
Management-stated Mar 2026
What happens next
drilling with 14 rigs ongoing to de-risk project
Management-stated Heye Daun Jun 2026
The main open question
The deposit is low-grade sulfide requiring novel coarse particle flotation (CPF) at scale — technology not yet proven at production rates needed to hit 120,000 tons copper annually [1, 15].

Read the full case

Management says the team has a proven track record selling advanced projects for $200M+ in Namibia and recently exited Oino Resources to a Chinese buyer. The company has raised sufficient capital [26], permits largely in place [4], and a large sulfide deposit with extraction economics improving through flowsheet enhancements — targeting over 100,000 tons annually at conservative $430/lb assumptions and a capital-efficient $1.5B capex [12, 18]. PFS delivers expected within months [21], with drilling and study work positioned to unlock a middle-of-cost-curve producer.

▼ Bear case

The deposit is low-grade sulfide requiring novel coarse particle flotation (CPF) at scale — technology not yet proven at production rates needed to hit 120,000 tons copper annually [1, 15].

What it rests on
Evidence: 3 moments from 2 interviews
Read the full case

The deposit is low-grade sulfide requiring novel coarse particle flotation (CPF) at scale — technology not yet proven at production rates needed to hit 120,000 tons copper annually [1, 15]. The project depends on executing a $1.5B capex in Namibia with flowsheet assumptions that differ from the previous operator's approach [32]; permitting is claimed "largely in place" but PFS timing suggests study work still incomplete [4, 7, 21]. No independent technical or financial validation; material assumes higher grades and cost improvements that hinge on ongoing drilling outcomes [2, 30].

◆ Watch next

PFS publication expected by end of this year [21] — the first independent test of whether CPF flowsheet enhancements and improved resource model translate to buildable economics.

What it rests on
Evidence: 2 moments from 2 interviews
Read the full case

PFS publication expected by end of this year [21] — the first independent test of whether CPF flowsheet enhancements and improved resource model translate to buildable economics. Completion of 14-rig drilling program [3] and its impact on resource grade and confidence intervals. Strategic offtake and financing discussions with Chinese and international groups [27] — whether non-dilutive capital or credible offtake agreements materialize before capex approval, signaling market confidence in the final study.

Project 15 statements

The deposit 5

Key takeaway. Management describes the deposit as a large, low-grade sulfide copper deposit (March 2026), and more recently as a porphyry copper-molybdenum project with some gold (June 2026).

Read the full summary

The company reports a grade of roughly just under 0.5% copper equivalent after 10 years of mining using CPF pre-sorting. On exploration upside, the CEO said in March that "if you drill the hell out of it, generally speaking, you can improve things a bit," while in June management cited an improved resource model showing higher-grade introduction of byproducts.

Jurisdiction 5

Key takeaway. Management highlights Namibia's political stability and established mining industry.

Read the full summary

In March 2026, the company described Namibia as "very stable" with no civil wars, no Kalashnikovs, and a stable tax code and minerals regime, noting it became independent in 1990 and has had a well-established mining industry ever since. By June 2026, the company reported that the permits needed for a shovel-ready project are "largely in place."

Technical risk 5

Key takeaway. Management says the project's technical risk has been reduced by switching from bioleaching to conventional milling and flotation.

Read the full summary

According to the company, the previous heap-leach approach was too risky for sulfides because "if the bugs die (passivation), the heap is toast." The new flowsheet adds CPF pre-sorting and coarse particle flotation to treat low-grade material, achieving about 25% rejection at about 4 to 8% copper losses. That said, management also noted in March 2026 that even conventional milling and flotation might only work if the company drills extensively, does good-quality work, and copper prices rise.

What was actually said
key assumption
flowsheet enhancements including CPF coarse particle flotation to treat low grade material
“through flowheet enhancements. So we spent a lot of time there's a lot of detail in that press release explaining the flowheet enhancements”
Heye Daun· 08 Jun 2026·
metallurgy

“Um but we're not an oxide. So therefore, heat bleach out the question. We're a sulfite. We have to deal with it.”

about 25% rejection at about 4 to 8% copper losses
“able to reject about 25% um at at at about 4 to8% copper losses. So it's minimal copper losses and 25% rejection”

key assumption
If you drill the hell out of it and do good quality work plus higher copper prices, maybe it can fly with conventional milling and flotation.
“If you've got a project that's low grade, if you drill the hell out of it, generally speaking, you can improve things a bit. And if you do good quality work plus higher copper prices, maybe it can fly with conventional milling and flotation, which is what this needs.”
04 Mar 2026·
metallurgy
Changed from bioleaching to conventional milling and flotation. Previous proposal to use heap leaching was too risky for sulfides because if the bugs die (passivation), the heap is toast.
“The previous company published a pea. which which proposed biolleaching for the sulfide project which sounds good in theory but it's the wrong processing group because it's not it can't it it hasn't been proven at large scale. Basically, what happens is you put it on the heap and and if the bugs die, the experts call it pacivation, then what do you do? Then your heap is toast.”

Economics 6 statements

Economics 5

Key takeaway. Koryx Copper's management has shared preliminary project economics with varying figures across two interviews.

Read the full summary

In March 2026, the company reported a $1.5 billion capex and a price assumption of $4.30 per pound (about $9,500 per ton). By June 2026, management was targeting annual copper production north of 100,000 tons, ideally around 120,000 tons, and noted their price assumptions are conservative at 30% below spot or the analyst forward curve. Regarding costs, management said in March 2026 that all-in sustaining costs and capital intensity place the project in the middle of the cost curve.

How to read this page

What is here

Statements made by company representatives in the interviews listed above — each one carrying the words that made it, the date, and the recording. Nothing is added from any other source: if it was not said on a recording, it is not on this page. The one exception lives in the Claims & Checks record, which cites a metal price from our own feed so a stated cost can be set against it — and labels it as ours wherever it appears.

What is not verified

All of it. Resource figures, economics, timelines and promotional framing are management's own representations, checked against no filing and no technical report. Transcripts are automatic; we repair a clearly mis-heard word but never a number, a date, a unit or a speaker's hedge — “about 8.6 million ounces” keeps its “about”.

How to use it

Treat it as a map of what has been said, not as a source of fact. Where a figure matters to you, open the recording and read the company's filings. Nothing here is financial advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security — these are interested parties discussing their own company.
