Under the revised arrangement, the copper-gold exploration and development company will make a $5 million payment by Oct. 31, 2026, followed by another $5 million in quarterly installments of $415,000, from March 31, 2029, to Dec. 31, 2031. The company may repay the deferred amount early at a 12.5% annual discount. Bezant said a third party has expressed interest in co-investing toward the accelerated payment, with discussions ongoing. The company continues to target first concentrate production from the plant by the end of September.
