MURRAY BROOK PROJECT
Canadian Copper’s Murray Brook project is located approximately 60 km west of the City of Bathurst in the Parish of Balmoral, Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada. In October 2024, Canadian Copper announced the signing of a term sheet and exclusivity agreement providing it the exclusive right to acquire the Caribou Complex, which is situated just 13 km east of Murray Brook. Canadian Copper’s acquisition of the Caribou Complex is expected to close in Q2 2026. The permitted Caribou Complex (along with a permitted tailings storage facility) would be used to produce copper, lead, and zinc concentrates with recoverable silver from the Murray Brook mineralized feed material. Canadian Copper completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Project in July 2025. The PEA mine plan consists of conventional drill/blast/load/haul open-pit mining methods for the Murray Brook deposit and includes a 13km haul road for the mineralized material to be processed at the Caribou Complex. The life-of-mine plan proposes one open pit with four development phases at an average production rate of 3,300 tpd of mineralized material at a strip ratio of 5.0:1 for 13.2 years. Additional PEA highlights include:
Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties, commented: “Canadian Copper’s Murray Brook Project checks all of our strategic boxes; the integration of Murray Brook and the Caribou Complex creates a premier brownfield polymetallic project with significant precious metals credits in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction. Thanks to existing infrastructure and strong alignment with local stakeholders, the project benefits from a significantly accelerated development timeline. We are excited to partner with Canadian Copper as they advance toward a mine-and-mill restart, which is expected to deliver high-margin GEOs to OR Royalties before the end of the decade.”
