COTEC FORMS SUBSIDIARY, COTEC COPPER, TO ACCELERATE INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES IN COPPER TAILINGS AND COPPER SULFIDE DEPOSITS

Cotec Holdings Corp. has established a wholly owned subsidiary, Cotec Copper, to accelerate the company's investment activities in copper tailings and sulphide deposits.

Julian Treger, chief executive officer of Cotec, commented: "The establishment of Cotec Copper demonstrates our commitment to advancing investments in copper tailings and copper sulphide deposits globally. Cotec's multiple technology investments have reached a readiness level where they can potentially enable asset level investments, consistent with our core strategy. We are focused on opportunities to deploy these technologies to recover the significant economic potential of large historical tailings sites and redundant copper deposits where sulphide resources remain undeveloped. Cotec intends to use Cotec Copper as a vehicle to target 'brownfield' asset investments in historical Tier 1 copper districts over the coming year in the United States, Australia and Africa with the support of our technology partners and local stakeholders."
