Timothy Hoff's questions to MAC Copper Ltd (MTAL) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Timothy Hoff from Canaccord asked about the offtake terms for zinc concentrate produced via the Polymetals tolling agreement and clarified whether any potential copper from that stream would also be separate from existing offtakes.
Answer
CEO Michael James McMullen explained it is a tolling agreement, meaning they receive concentrate back and have not yet signed a zinc offtake, though the market is favorable. This arrangement is separate from Glencore. He clarified that copper ore would not be sent to Polymetals, as their circuit is designed for zinc-lead and would not recover the copper.
