Timothy Hoff's questions to MAC Copper (MTAL) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Timothy Hoff from Canaccord Genuity asked about the offtake terms for zinc concentrate produced through the Polymetals tolling arrangement and sought to clarify if any resulting copper would also be separate from the main CSA offtake agreement with Glencore.
Answer
CEO Michael James McMullen clarified that the Polymetals agreement is for tolling, not ore sales, meaning MAC Copper will receive the concentrate back and has not yet signed a final offtake agreement for it. He noted the zinc concentrate market is very tight. He also confirmed that any copper-bearing ore would be processed through their own plant, as the Polymetals circuit is designed for zinc-lead and would not recover the copper.
