PROJECTS
Three Projects Across Norway & Sweden
CopperCo offers exposure to a strategically located high-grade European base metals portfolio in safe, Scandinavian mining-friendly jurisdictions of Norway and Sweden. The projects benefit from excellent access, high-quality infrastructure and some of Europe’s lowest-cost power.
With abundant underexplored historical mines and multiple untested target trends, the portfolio is well positioned for value creation through low-cost exploration (target generation and drilling) rather than high initial capital development.
CopperCo’s Norwegian projects (Sagvoll and Meråker) are highly prospective for high-grade VMS copper-zinc-gold deposits as well as magmatic nickel-copper deposits. Both types of mineralisation present on the properties have seen past commercial exploitation. The Swedish asset Lainejaur is a very high-grade polymetallic nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE-gold deposit with a 2018 JORC Mineral Resource Estimate and strong potential for further growth.
01 — MERÅKER
Historic Copper-Zinc District with Untested Geophysics
Trøndelag County, Norway
The Meråker Project is located in Meråker municipality, Trøndelag County, approximately 9 km south of the village of Meråker and 68 km east of Trondheim. It consists of 19 contiguous Exploration Licences totalling 184 km² within the historic Røros Copper Mining District of the early Palaeozoic Caledonian orogenic belt.
Meråker hosts multiple historic high-grade copper and zinc mines and prospects developed on a 20 km N-S strike-trend of VMS systems. Lillefjell, Mannfjell and Fonnfjell were the largest historical mining centres, mined intermittently for high-grade copper (3–5% Cu) from the mid-18th century to the early 20th century.

EXPLORATION HISTORY
A property-wide airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey was completed in 2021. The EM data has not yet been processed in any detail, creating a standout opportunity for modern data processing combined with new fieldwork and surface sampling to generate multiple new targets.

NEXT STEPS
Process EM → Rank Targets → Define Drill Programs
Process the existing 2021 EM data, integrate with historical geological and sampling information, and prioritise testing of extensions to previously exploited high-grade copper lodes along strike and beneath historical workings.
02 — SAGVOLL
Copper-Zinc-Gold Exploration in Norway
Trøndelag County, Norway
Sagvoll is a brownfields polymetallic exploration project in the Røros district of Trøndelag, Norway, within the early Palaeozoic Caledonian orogenic belt. It hosts classic VMS-style copper-zinc-gold mineralisation and magmatic nickel-copper sulphide deposits. The project comprises 8 contiguous Exploration Licences totalling 80 km², approximately 50 km northeast of Trondheim, with year-round road access.
Historical mining occurred largely in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Early focus will be on the Målså and Åkervoll mines, considered walk-up drill targets.

EXPLORATION HISTORY
A 2006 airborne EM survey generated multiple anomalies. Combined with ground truthing and surface geochemical sampling, these have defined numerous drill targets that remain untested by modern drilling. Priority targets are largely associated with or adjacent to historical 1800s–1900s workings.
NEXT STEPS
Data review → Target Ranking → Drilling
In 2007, Sagvoll attracted the attention of Anglo-Swiss multinational mining major Xstrata. After a project wide assessment, Xstrata priority ranked 11 VMS targets prospective for Cu-Zn-Au mineralization and further 5 targets for Magmatic Ni-Cu mineralization.
However, these ranked targets were never drilled prior to Xstrata’s eventual takeover by Glencore in 2013.
CopperCo,has recognised the potential commercial importance of this exercise and is currently undertaking a new review of this information. Along with historical geochemical and geophysical data re-processing, bolstered by new fieldwork, the Company will validate and proritize these areas for follow-up drilling, planned for 2027.
PRIORITY AREAS
Historical sulphide intervals (10–18 m) across stacked horizons; never followed with modern drilling.
Dump samples historically returned 3–5% Cu (up to 6.5%); discarded zinc samples to 4.8%. An EM feature at approximately 400 m depth remains untested.
03 — LAINEJAUR
Historic Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Mine in the Skellefteå District
Västerbotten County, Sweden
Lainejaur is a high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE-gold project located approximately 15 km northeast of Malå in northern Sweden’s established Skellefteå mining district. The project consists of a single 41.2 km² Exploration Permit with excellent infrastructure via established road networks. It is strategically positioned within the EU, close to emerging European battery metal supply chains seeking secure sources of Class 1 nickel, copper and cobalt.

Historic Mine
1940s (discovered 1941; operated until 1945)
HISTORIC PRODUCTION
Approximately 100–101 kt at 2.2% Ni plus Cu (averaging ~2.2% Ni, 0.9% Cu, 0.1% Co). The mine closed due to low commodity prices, not deposit exhaustion. Shallow underground workings (<150 m). No modern exploration until 2007 (Blackstone Minerals: 42 core holes for 13,200 m). The tenements footprint was expanded to 41.2 km², enabling investigation of down-dip extensions and nearby untested Ni-Cu targets.
MINERAL RESOURCE
2018 JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource: 460,000 t @ 2.2% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.15% Co, 0.68 g/t Pd, 0.2 g/t Pt, 0.65 g/t Au (3.4% NiEq). The resource is open down dip and excludes a considerable tonnage (~1.4 Mt) of lower-grade Ni-Cu halo mineralisation grading >0.5% NiEq.
Selected drill intersections within the resource include:
-
7.65 m @ 2.1% Ni, 0.10% Co, 1.01% Cu from 168 m (LAI-07-010)
-
5.18 m @ 2.64% Ni, 0.10% Co, 0.06% Cu from 215.9 m (LAI-07-14A)
-
9.88 m @ 2.28% Ni, 0.17% Co, 0.61% Cu from 277.35 m (LAI-07-15)
RECENT DRILLING
2023 diamond drilling confirmed high-grade sulphide mineralisation consistent with the historical mine and resource. Hole LAI23001 intersected massive and disseminated sulphides within a strongly mineralised gabbro, including 4.7 m grading 2.0% Ni, 1.6% Cu and 0.1% Co from ~283 m within a broader ~22 m mineralised interval. Results validated geological continuity and potential for resource growth.
EXPLORATION POTENTIAL
Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth (deepest intersection: 2.85 m @ 1.63% Ni, 0.51% Cu, 0.19% Co, 2.16 g/t Pd, 0.62 g/t Pt, 0.83 g/t Au from 558.3 m, including a high-grade sub-interval). Skellefteå district mines operate to >1,500 m depth.
Ground geophysical surveys in 2017 & 2018 identified several new EM anomalies along a 6 km arc from the deposit. Interpreted as being located on the contact between the footwall mafic volcanics and the hanging wall gabbro, these EM anomalies in bedrock under 15 to 25m of glacial cover are considered priority drill targets for Lainejaur mineralization lookalikes.
NEXT STEPS
Target Definition → Shallow & Deep Drilling → New Mineral Resource Estimate→ Desktop Mining Studies
Area A represents a priority shallow drill target targeting an up-dip mineralization extension”. Area B represents a deeper down-dip drill target, targeting depth extensions to the known mineralisation located outside of the current resource boundary”
