Coppernico Metals CEO Ivan Bebek addressed a recent $5.5 million financing, explaining that a larger strategic financing was delayed due to Peruvian elections and geopolitical events. However, he highlighted that Tech (now merging with Newmont) maintained its 9.9% stake, providing validation for the Sombrero project's potential. Bebek indicated plans for a future financing round after drilling commences.
“What derailed it was the election in Peru and as I mentioned before, the Iran war, kind of put a lot of people on pause to see how things were going to play out, geopolitical events.”
“But you notice last week we added a million with a tech maintaining their 9.9% interest. Tech now is merging with Anglo, it's about a 90 billion dollar company and they've maintained their 9% interest in the company.”
“But at the end of the day, it'll be a combination of this raise and a future raise that really determines the true financing that we did for this project.”
