Mr. Michael McPhie reports
CHANGE OF NAME TO CURIS RESOURCES LTD & NEW TRADING SYMBOL "CUV"
On Jan. 28, 2011, PCI-1 Capital Corp.
shareholders approved the change of the company's name to Curis Resources Ltd. The company also has a new trading symbol on the TSX Venture
Exchange, and will begin trading under the symbol CUV shortly.
The name Curis is an acronym for copper (Cu) recovery in situ. Curis's focus is to
develop its flagship Florence copper project in Arizona, United States, into a
world-class low-cost copper producer in the near term. The Florence
copper project was advanced to the point of having all project
operating permits in place, a feasibility study completed and the
successful operation of a pilot test by former owner BHP Copper Inc. in
the late 1990s.
"We are well positioned to establish Curis as a near-term
next-generation copper producer," said Curis president and chief executive officer Michael
McPhie. "Our 100-per-cent-owned Florence project hosts a copper oxide deposit
with a 429-million-tonne measured and indicated resource that is amenable to in situ copper recovery (ISCR), and
industry-standard solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) copper
production. In late 2010, we announced the completion of a very
positive preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the project and
raised $38-million to advance our 18-month work plan (see news in Stockwatch on Nov. 25,
2010). Over the next year, we expect to optimize our
project engineering, complete a feasibility study and complete project
permitting. Project permitting involves the amendment and updating of
the operational permits for the project through a well-defined and time-limited amendment process. Upon successful completion of these
activities, Curis will start a phase 1 development program that will
involve the drilling and activation of an initial ISCR well block, and
construction and commissioning of a temporary SX/EW plant to produce
99.99 per cent pure copper cathode at the Florence copper project
site. Construction of the full commercial SX/EW plant, and well field
facilities and associated infrastructure (phase 2) will follow phase 1
and is planned to start in late 2012."
We seek Safe Harbor.
