We are engaged in talks with the current administration to continue rolling out SCC’s Mexican investments for $10.2 billion. El Pilar - Sonora . This new copper project has obtained the necessary environmental permits and will begin early site preparation works in September 2026 to develop energy lines, water pipelines, roads, workers accommodation, etc. Project construction will commence in the first quarter of 2027, and production is expected to begin in the second half of 2029. This project is located in Sonora, Mexico, approximately 45 kilometers from Cananea and Buenavista mine. Its copper oxide mineralization contains estimated proven and probable reserves of 317 million tons of ore with an average copper grade of 0.249% and a life of mine of 18 years. It will operate as an open-pit mine with an annual production capacity of 36,000 tons of copper cathode, utilizing cost-efficient and environmentally friendly SXEW (Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning) technology. With an investment of $551 million, this project will employ a direct workforce of 450 people during the construction phase and 300 during the operational phase. El Arco - Baja California: This is a world-class copper deposit located in the central part of the Baja California peninsula with more than 1,230 million tons in sulphide ore reserves with an average ore grade of 0.40%, and 141 million tons of leach material with an average ore grade of 0.27%. The project includes an open-pit mine
