CANADIAN COPPER SIGNS OFFTAKE AGREEMENT AND CREDIT FACILITY WITH OCEAN PARTNERS

Canadian Copper Inc. has entered into an offtake agreement for one-third of copper concentrate production from the Murray Brook (MB) deposit and an unsecured credit facility of up to $1.5-million (U.S.) ($2.01-million) with Ocean Partners U.K. Ltd.

Simon Quick, chief executive officer of Canadian Copper, said: "First and foremost, we welcome Ocean Partners as a strategic shareholder to Canadian Copper. Ocean Partners bring in-depth technical expertise in asset evaluations and extensive knowledge of the base metal commodity market, both of which will prove invaluable to us. This new relationship between Ocean Partners and Canadian Copper is a strong endorsement of the advanced Murray Brook deposit and its unique position located less than 10 kilometres from a fully constructed processing plant in need of a partner with ore feed."

Brent Omland, co-chief executive officer of Ocean Partners, said: "We recognize the strategic rationale and regional consolidation opportunity here between the Murray Brook deposit and its proximity to a nearby milling facility on care and maintenance. Murray Brook benefits from extensive existing infrastructure combined with local and provincial government support, which should reduce capital and execution risk."

The purpose of the credit facility is to satisfy the final Murray Brook acquisition condition and replace an existing $2-million environmental bond with the New Brunswick government. Mine lease ownership and title transfers require ministerial approval under the Mining Act in New Brunswick. Pending consent by the Minister, ownership and title will transfer to Canadian Copper.

Offtake agreement

Ocean Partners shall have the right to purchase a minimum of one-third of the copper concentrate at market rates for the payable metals produced by the Murray Brook deposit and three other right-of-first-refusal (ROFR) conditions. The remaining ROFR conditions are: (1) Ocean Partners will have the right to match and purchase the remaining copper concentrate produced should a third party submit a bonafide offer; (2) Ocean Partners will have the right to provide offtake financing at the same terms should a third party submit a bonafide offer; and (3) Ocean Partners will have the right to match and purchase other concentrates should a third party submit a bonafide offer.

Unsecured credit facility

The credit facility is an aggregate amount of up to $1.5-million (U.S.) for a period of one year with a single draw available following satisfaction of customary conditions precedent by the company. Interest on the credit facility will be 10 per cent per annum paid on execution of the credit facility. The interest payment consideration will be company common shares at a fixed rate totalling 2,222,222 at a price of nine cents per share.
