Just the Facts: Cyprium Metals reveals $1.13B NPV for Nifty redevelopment in PFS
Proactive’s Tylah Tully breaks down ‘Just the Facts’ of the latest news from Cyprium Metals Ltd (ASX:CYM, OTC:CYPMF).
The company has released its pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the Nifty Copper Complex redevelopment in Western Australia, confirming strong economic potential. The study outlines plans to refurbish the existing brownfield concentrator, establish a new surface mine and produce copper cathode by reprocessing Heap Leach Pads 1-6, representing oxide opportunities.
The key findings project a life-of-mine (LOM) copper production of 718,000 tonnes, with an average annual output of 37,300 tonnes in the first decade. At a long-term copper price of A$13,253 per tonne, the project is expected to generate gross revenues of A$9.2 billion. Economic metrics include a pre-tax net present value (NPV) of A$1.13 billion (A$756 million after tax) and a pre-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 28.9% (23.6% after tax).
Redevelopment costs are estimated at A$458 million, with A$239 million allocated to refurbishing the concentrator and A$30 million for the cathode project. The ore reserves include 83 million tonnes at 0.90% copper in the Concentrate Project and an additional 10.6 million tonnes at 0.41% copper for the Cathode Project.
With all major permits secured, Cyprium views the PFS as a pivotal milestone, providing a foundation for future activities.

Hello and welcome to this episode of Proactive's Justif Acts. I'm your host, Tyler Talley. Cypriot Metals has released a pre-feasibility study for the redevelopment of its nifty copper complex in Western Australia, highlighting strong economic prospects. The PFS contemplates the refurbishment and expansion of Nifty's brownfield concentrator and accompanying new surface mine. It also confirms the economics of producing copper cathode by retreating Nifty's heat bleach pads one through six, which is a subset of oxide opportunities. This PFS supports the first or reserve estimate to be published on the concentrate project and initial cathode project. The key findings include a life of mine production of 718,000 tonnes of copper, with an annual average of 37,300 tonnes in the first decade. The financial metrics are robust. At an assumed long-term copper price of 13,253 dollars per tonne, the project is expected to generate gross revenues of $9.2 billion. A pre-tax net present value of $1.31 billion and a pre-tax internal rate of return of 28.9%. The estimated redevelopment cost is $458 million, including $239 million for the concentrated refurbishment and $30 million for the cathode project. On the resource side, the concentrate project boasts or reserves of 83 million tonnes, 0.9% copper, containing 753,000 tonnes of copper. The cathode project adds an additional 10.6 million tonnes of 0.41% copper, equating to 44,000 tonnes of contained metal. The company says the successful completion of this comprehensive PFS marks a pivotal milestone for Cyprian. This is important foundational work that the company will build on. The PFS highlights the long duration and immense profitability of Nifty's concentrate project, with the total copper reserves supporting at more than $3 billion in pre-tax cash flow. Nifty is a large and important copper source and economic engine for Australia. There are a few near-term copper development opportunities that present the scale, longevity and positive economics of Nifty's concentrate project, and none that have the speed and cost advantages of a permitted brownfield site and access to Western Australia's world-class supply chain. The important information in this PFS serves as a strategic foundation for Cyprian's forward activities as it moves towards project execution. Thanks for watching, these are just
