The surface ventilation fans remain on schedule for installation in the third quarter of 2021.
Lateral Development Lateral development in March increased 69% from February after the previously announced electrical upgrades were completed.
Lateral development early in the first quarter 2021 was slower than anticipated due to cautious progress through a water bearing dike. Progress continues with penetration through the dike.
$Continuing to Increase Mill Throughput Rates
While we are still batch processing ore through the mill, we achieved a weekly average of 4,700 tons per day (“tpd”) and maximum daily milling throughput of 5,000 tpd during March.

$Interview with Stephen Gill, chairman of Nevada Copper
Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable talks with Stephen Gill, chairman of Nevada Copper, who discusses his company's copper project, where the underground mine is ramping up production and the open pit is fully permitted.
- $Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX: NCU) (OTC: NEVDF) (“Nevada Copper” or the “Company”) today provided an update on management team additions and execution of its productivity improvement plan. Highlights
Accelerated stope turnover rates:
The pace of stope mining continues to accelerate at the Company’s underground mine at its Pumpkin Hollow Project (the “Underground Mine”), with mining from the second stope already complete, and blasting of the third stope commenced. Further improved visibility on stoping inventory and additional stopes is planned in the coming weeks.
Team strengthened in key positions:
Following Mike Brown assuming the role of Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, a number of key positions have been swiftly filled, adding key mining skills and building out the execution team. Key positions include GM Underground Projects, Interim Chief Operating Officer, Underground Production Manager, Process Manager, Senior Electrical Engineer, and Director of Financial Reporting.
Productivity improvement plan generating positive results:
Management, including new team additions, have initiated a productivity improvement plan aimed at addressing the operational challenges at the Underground Mine encountered during Q2 2021, including improved planning, monitoring and contractor management systems. In the weeks since initiated, substantial improvements in productivity have been demonstrated in development rates.
Processing: Ore from stope mining averaging approximately 1.5% Cu is being delivered to the mill with recoveries as planned and production of concentrate meeting offtake specifications while batch processing ore. Mike Brown, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I am very pleased to welcome the new additions to our team. Along with strengthened leadership and the addition of key skills, we are already seeing improvements in operational execution and productivity, resulting in increased stope turnover rates. These results are encouraging as we embed operational improvements and continue with the ramp-up of copper production”.
Further Details
Team Strengthening During August and September, a number of key additions to the Pumpkin Hollow operating team have been made. These additions address prior limitations in availability of mining and geotechnical technical skills within the management team. Key among these additions are:
GM Underground Projects: Robert Booth will oversee all underground mining activities, including contractor management and infrastructure. Mr. Booth has substantial underground mining and contractor management experience in the Americas, including as Project Director for Hudbay Minerals since 2018, as Project Director and Mine Manager across Vale’s Canadian operations between 1990 and 2017, and prior to that at Inco Limited. Interim Chief Operating Officer Underground Production Manager Process Manager Senior electrical engineer Director, financial reporting Productivity Improvement Plan Over recent weeks, management has undertaken a detailed review of the constraints encountered during Q2 2021 at the Underground Mine and reviewed planning for the remaining ramp-up and steady-state operations. As a result, a number of measures have been implemented to address operational constraints encountered in Q2, including:
Stronger contractor management procedures combined with revised contractor key performance indicators and aligned incentive systems to drive improved mining productivity. Planning focus on accelerated stope delivery and prioritization of certain underground infrastructure items key to delivering higher production volumes. Implementation of enhanced inventory management systems and supply chain optimization to ensure critical consumables and spares are available to service mining activities. Optimization of equipment utilization, including revisions to the mobile equipment maintenance program. The above measures are delivering operational improvements and providing greater visibility on stoping inventory. An increased rate of stope mining is underway with the second stopes mined, the blasting of the third stope having commenced and further stopes planned in the coming weeks.
The surface ventilation fans for the Underground Mine remain on schedule for commissioning in Q4 2021. The Company will provide further updates on operating performance metrics in due course.
Credit Facility Amendments Discussions are progressing positively with KfW-IPEX Bank (“KfW”), in-line with the expectations previously reported in the Company’s August 31, 2021 news release. The Company expects to finalize amendments to its senior facility with KfW in the coming weeks in order to, among other things, extend the project completion longstop date under the facility. However, there can be no assurance that such amendments and extensions will be obtained.
Completion of Share Consolidation The Company has completed the previously announced consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for every ten (10) pre-consolidation common shares (the “Share Consolidation”). The common shares will begin trading on a post-consolidation basis at the market open on September 21, 2021. See the Company’s September 3, 2021 press release for additional details on the Share Consolidation.

$Nevada Copper Provides Operations Update April 21, 2021 View PDF April 21, 2021 –
$Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX: NCU) (OTC: NEVDF) (“Nevada Copper” or the “Company”) provides a project update for the underground mine at its Pumpkin Hollow project (the “Underground Project”).
The first stope will be mined in the East South Alphabets zone this week.
$The Alphabets zone is expected to carry copper equivalent grade of approximately 2.5%.
Ventilation Expansion
The electrical upgrades have been completed and the fan bulkhead is in the final stages of construction for installation of the remaining underground ventilation fans. Two additional underground ventilation fans, as previously announced, are on schedule for installation in May, which should enable further increases in underground development rates.
The surface ventilation fans remain on schedule for installation in the third quarter of 2021.
Lateral Development Lateral development in March increased 69% from February after the previously announced electrical upgrades were completed.
Lateral development early in the first quarter 2021 was slower than anticipated due to cautious progress through a water bearing dike. Progress continues with penetration through the dike.
$Continuing to Increase Mill Throughput Rates
While we are still batch processing ore through the mill, we achieved a weekly average of 4,700 tons per day (“tpd”) and maximum daily milling throughput of 5,000 tpd during March.
Concentrate grade continues to be achieved that comply with off-take specifications.
Concentrate grade has continued to rise, with an average grade of 26% achieved in March compared to 24% during January and February.
The Company is on schedule to reach steady-state production of approximately 5,000 tpd in the third quarter of 2021.
“We are pleased with the progress achieved in Q1 despite the challenges with lateral development and we look forward to the imminent blasting of our first high grade stopes,” stated Mike Ciricillo, Chief Executive Officer of Nevada Copper.
“As well as advancing our stope development, we look forward to further increases in underground development rates as we move closer to steady- state production in Q3 this year.”
