Copper Production and Quality at Gibraltar:
- Taseko Mines reported a total site cost of $117 million for Q2, noting significant improvements in mine tonnages and copper production.
- The increase in mining rates was driven by access to higher-grade ore and less oxidized material in the Connector Pit.
Florence Project Progress:
- Construction costs at the Florence project have reached $239 million, with construction now past the peak spend phase.
- The project is on track to achieve its construction budget, with expectations to inject solutions in September and produce copper cathode before the end of the year.
Financial Performance and Currency Impact:
- Taseko's net income for Q2 was $22 million, primarily driven by an unrealized foreign exchange gain due to a strengthening Canadian dollar.
- Lower sales volumes and a stronger Canadian dollar contributed to a decrease in revenue, which was partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange gains.
Tariff Impact on Copper Market:
- The U.S. copper tariff news has led to volatility in COMEX copper prices, but the LME copper price has remained stable.
- The U.S. administration's focus on incentivizing U.S.-based manufacturing of finished copper products is favorable for Florence, as it will be one of the few U.S.-based suppliers of refined copper.
New Prosperity Agreement and Yellowhead Project:
- Taseko received a $75 million cash payment and a 22.5% equity interest in the New Prosperity project, with the remaining 77.5% owned by Taseko.
- The Yellowhead project has improved economic indicators, with an NPV of CAD 2 billion and an after-tax IRR of 21%, positioning it favorably against other North American copper development projects.
