Copperstone Resources grundades 2006 och är ett bolag vars verksamhet ändrades 2019 till att fokusera på att återöppna Viscariagruvan i Kiruna för kopparutvinning. Bolagets förberedelsearbete innefattar prospektering i form av kärnborrning för att kvantifiera mineraltillgångar, entreprenadplanering samt upphandling av anrikningsverk och kringliggande infrastruktur. En nödvändig miljötillståndsansökan är inlämnad till Mark- och Miljödomstolen och ärendet är under behandling. Utöver Viscariagruvan har Copperstone bearbetningskoncessioner och undersökningstillstånd i Arvidsjaur, där prospektering pågår, och Smedjebacken.

At Closing today, Copperstone paid to Sunstone Metals Ltd (“Sunstone”) the initial purchase price consisting of 20 MSEK in cash and 160m new shares of series B (resolved and allotted today, pending registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office). An additional amount of 20 MSEK plus an annual interest of 7% will be paid in cash at the latest 4 months after Closing, or, alternatively, converted into newly issued Copperstone shares of series B at 10% discount on the VWAP 10 trading days preceding the 4 month expiration.

Looking ahead
Copperstone intends to file work plans on both project areas with the County Administration Board of Norrbotten. Quotations regarding drill rigs are being administrated. The recruitment process of a Project Manager for Viscaria and Chief Geologist for Copperstone has commenced.

The Company has working capital for the upcoming one to two quarters (depending on the size of any core drilling campaign), and continues to evaluate longer term financing alternatives, such as different forms of equity funding including, among others, European commodity investors, in order to fund any increased exploration activity, and funds to Sunstone. In addition, the Company is working closely with the US-based fund Yorkville and will together evaluate the outstanding tranche 1 with regard to liquidity in the Copperstone share, trading pattern, investor comfort, before potentially calling for further funds.
