Gunnison Copper Corp SVP and CFO Craig Hallworth joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major operational milestone for the company — the first commercial sales of pure copper cathode from its fully operational Johnson Camp Mine (JCM) in southeast Arizona. The mine, which has the capacity to produce up to 25 million pounds of copper cathode annually, has now transitioned into revenue generation following successful commissioning. Hallworth reported that on September 15, Gunnison completed its inaugural copper sales, delivering a total of 225,371 pounds of finished copper cathode. The copper was sold at an average realized price of US$4.64 per pound, generating gross proceeds of approximately US$1.05 million. These sales represent the first “Made-in-America” copper cathode from JCM delivered directly into domestic markets, marking a significant contribution to strengthening the U.S. copper supply chain. Looking ahead, Gunnison Copper expects to begin production using Nuton’s innovative bio-leaching technology later this year. Nuton, a venture of Rio Tinto, has selected JCM as the first commercial-scale deployment site for this breakthrough technology, which is designed to deliver improved recovery rates while reducing environmental impact. Production at Johnson Camp Mine officially began during the final week of August 2025, ahead of schedule and with an exemplary health and safety record. The mine’s output is entirely U.S.-produced, directly supporting critical industries tied to energy independence, advanced manufacturing, clean technology, and national defense. Hallworth emphasized that this milestone is not only a key achievement for Gunnison Copper but also a significant development for domestic copper production, as the company continues to build value while contributing to America’s strategic resource independence. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf #CopperMining #USMining #CopperProject #CopperMining #GunnisonCopper #NutonTechnology #USMining #CriticalMinerals #CopperProduction #MiningStocks #NaturalResources #ElectricEconomy #CopperPrices #FreeCashFlow #JohnsonCampMine
