Mining for the future
Viscaria continues to grow - more copper, higher grades and exploration upside
 The resource update ‘in a nutshell’:
10
✓ We see increasing grades in the deposit, now up to 0.90 % copper on average
✓ Significant increase in tonnage (+16 %) and contained copper (+ 18 %): now approaching 1 Mt contained Cu
✓ Success in exploration drilling over the last year has contributed over 28 Mt Inferred resources and over 250 kt 
contained copper: starting to unlock the true scale of the system
✓ Huge exploration potential remains in immediate expansion areas and across the wider district

Even with a more conservative resource estimation approach, Mineral Resources have 
increased considerably since November 2022 – now at 108 Mt
• Average grade increases to 0.90% Cu , up from 0.88% Cu in November 2022
• Total Mineral Resources have increased by 16%, total contained copper up by 18%
• New Inferred resources totaling 28.3 Mt @ 0.89% (252.5 kt Cu) , from 1-year long exploration campaign 
• Robust and de -risked: improved confidence in the resource for mine planning by adopting a stricter cut -off grade 
and applying a more -conservative depletion model in the historically -mined A-zone

Mining for the future
• In just one year of exploration drilling, 28.3 million tons of 
additional Inferred resources have been defined, with an 
average copper grade of 0.89%, containing over 250 kt of 
copper
• Significant ‘return on investment’ for metres drilled: 
• ~ 7,500 m in D-zone Deep, 
• ~ 1,500 m in B-zone Deep and 
• ~ 9,000 m in the ABBA zone 
• Directional drilling enabled an efficient and accurate 
operation, with geophysical modelling and borehole 
surveys utilised to guide the drill hole planning

Foundations laid for further resource growth with continued near-mine exploration
• Ongoing drilling, geological interpretation and supporting 
geophysics all indicate that the mineralization remains open in 
each of the current near-mine exploration areas
• A total Exploration Target of 27 to 54 Mt has been defined for 
immediate resource expansion in the ABBA Zone, B-Zone Deep 
and D-Zone Deep
• Continued near-mine exploration aligns with the company 
strategy to extend the LoM by discovering new resources that 
can replace the mined-out reserves on annual basis

Mineralization remains open and geophysics indicates a deep-rooted system
• Viscaria’s ore bodies remain open both 
along strike and at depth
• Modelled geophysical data (magnetics, 
gravity, magnetotellerics) show deep 
continuations to the system
• Success in recent near-mine 
exploration was driven by following 
coinciding magnetic anomalies and 
grade-thickness trends to depth
• ABBA Zone a ‘proof of concept’ for 
more blind discoveries of copper 
mineralization at different stratigraphic 
levels – Viscaria’s potential no longer 
limited to A, B and D zones
• Several conceptual targets have been 
identified as part of a stacked mantos

• The Viscaria Business Case shows an 
improved production profile (Cu Eq.) 
• The major difference in the production 
profile per zone between Table 1 FS and 
our Business Case is the increased 
tonnages in the high-grade D-zone (from 
11.6 Mt @ 1.25% Cu Eq. to 19.7 Mt @ 
1.19% Cu Eq.)
• The schedule shows a significantly improved 
extraction rate, indicating that addition of 
tonnes scales well to an increased 
production rate.
• The production capacity per zone indicated, 
with the current resources to,
• A zone: 500-1,500 ktpa
• B zone: 1,500 – 2,500 ktpa
• D zone: 1,500 – 2,500 ktpa

Production profile comparisons, Business Case* vs Table 1
The ongoing exploration program aims to continue infill drilling to progressively upgrade the Inferred Resource associated with these 
underground  mining areas in advance of mining. However, there is a low level of geological confidence  associated with the Inferred Resources 
and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination  of Indicated Resources or that the production schedule 
using Inferred Resources will be realised.

▪ Viscaria is now seeking to
raise SEK [6.6]bn in capital
to fund the development
and operation of the

detailed in the adjacent
table
▪ The funding will be
structured as 58% debt and
42% equity, with equity
being raised alongside debt
and project construction
▪ The next round of equity
financing of SEK [1,000]m is
targeted for completion by
[May]
▪ The total debt financing
requirement is expected to
be SEK [3.7]bn, including

• The Viscaria Business Case shows an 
improved production profile (Cu Eq.) 
• The major difference in the production 
profile per zone between Table 1 FS and 
our Business Case is the increased 
tonnages in the high-grade D-zone (from 
11.6 Mt @ 1.25% Cu Eq. to 19.7 Mt @ 
1.19% Cu Eq.)
• The schedule shows a significantly improved 
extraction rate from D zone, indicating that 
addition of tonnes scales well to an increased 
production rate.
• The production capacity per zone indicated, 
with the current resources to,
• A zone: 500-1,500 ktpa
• B zone: 1,500 – 2,500 ktpa
• D zone: 1,500 – 2,500 ktpa
Note: Cu Eq grades refers to feed grades.

Production profile comparisons, Business Case* vs Table 1
The ongoing exploration program aims to continue infill drilling to progressively upgrade the Inferred Resource associated with these 
underground  mining areas in advance of mining. However, there is a low level of geological confidence  associated with the Inferred Resources 
and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination  of Indicated Resources or that the production schedule 
using Inferred Resources will be realised.

the tonnage mined over that period
• Please note that the average net

variance to the Business Case of 
each variable at +/- 15% flex, while 
the table shows the NPV output 
given a sensitivity of each variable 
between +/- 5% and 30%.
• Sensitivity analysis of the NPV 
output at 7% (post-tax basis) 
implies that the Fx-rate, copper 
price and copper volume output 
are the three most sensitive 
variables.
• The business case is least sensitive

Mining for the future
Mine overview 
• Given that the mine is a brownfield site, it benefits from 65 
km of existing underground infrastructure allowing for 
quick start of production and avoid high capital costs and 
long lead times
• Capital expenditures include;
• Enrichment plant
• Water treatment facility
• Connection to Malmbanan including railyard, storage area 
for incoming goods and recycling station 
• Power supply and;
• The Viscaria Village
Mining methods
• The redevelopment plan for the Viscaria mine incorporates 
both open-pit and underground mining methods:​
• Underground Mining: Underground operations are 
planned to commence concurrently with open-pit mining, 
contributing about 93% of the ore mined 
• Open-Pit Mining: The project envisions the development 
of  two open pits, which are expected to contribute 
approximately 7% of the ore mined over the mine's life

Key takeaways
• Viscaria has significant remaining 
exploration potential
• From one year of exploration drilling, 
over 28 Mt of new Inferred resources 
have been defined, as well as 
Exploration T argets for resource 
expansion in these areas of 27-54 Mt
• Given the recent exploration 
successes, Viscaria has set a mid-
term resource target of 140-160 Mt
• Viscaria expects historical 
exploration productivity to continue, 
and aims long-term to increase the 
life-of-mine by one year for each 
production year
