Cyprium Metals Ltd (ASX:CYM) Forms Strategic Alliance with Macmahon
Strategic Alliance Details
Cyprium Metals Ltd (ASX: CYM) has entered a non-binding Heads of Agreement with Macmahon Holdings Ltd (ASX: MAH) aimed at accelerating the redevelopment of the Nifty Copper Complex in Western Australia. This partnership will see Macmahon lead the completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) under an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Contract.
Key elements of the alliance include using Macmahon’s resources to oversee scoping for feasibility studies and refurbishment programs. The agreement anticipates entering an exclusive period for negotiating a life-of-mine operations contract for the Nifty site.
Operational Enhancements
The collaboration positions Macmahon to expedite planning and operational processes at Nifty. The BFS will be grounded on insights from Cyprium’s earlier Pre-Feasibility Study, which confirmed the economic potential of a new surface mine set to produce 694,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate over 20 years.
Cyprium Executive Chair, Matt Fifield, emphasised the significance of this strategic move, stating, “The Strategic Alliance with Macmahon represents a significant step forward in enhancing our operational and execution capacity.” He noted the alignment of visions between Cyprium and Macmahon, specifically concerning the potential of the Nifty Copper Complex.
Future Outlook
The agreement is expected to streamline the project timeline and facilitate early revenue generation strategies. Macmahon will review various startup scenarios to minimise capital outlay and expedite revenue flow.
Fifield concluded, “We continue to strengthen our foundation and deliver on the promise of building Australia’s next great copper company.” Macmahon CEO Mick Finnegan further expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting Nifty’s strategic fit with their operational capabilities.
