NEVADA COPPER ENGAGES LEADING MINING CONTRACTOR REDPATH FOR RAMP UP TO FULL COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION

Nevada Copper Corp. has engaged Redpath USA Corp. to implement the company's ramp-up strategy for the underground mine at Pumpkin Hollow, Nevada.

Following the commencement of production announced December, 2019, the company is entering into a new phase of development supporting its continuing operations and has high confidence in Redpath's ability as a partner during the ramp-up to full commercial production in 2020. Redpath replaces the previous mining contractor and will be the company's principal underground mining contractor going forward. Redpath is a highly experienced mining contractor with experience of delivering complex projects both internationally and in Nevada ahead of schedule and under budget.

Matt Gili, chief executive officer of Nevada Copper, stated: "Nevada Copper made the transition to producer in Q4 2019 and we have developed a clear, straightforward strategy for ramping up our Pumpkin Hollow underground project to full commercial production. Redpath is considered throughout the mining industry as the partner of choice for production ramp-up and we are excited to be working with them during this important period of growth."
