NEMESIA SARL ACQUIRES SHARES OF FARADAY COPPER CORP. AND IS IMPACTED BY PASSIVE DILUTION

Faraday’s stake is diluted by the BHP deal closure, with the next catalyst being the upcoming drill program.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Oct 30, 2026 · 19:58 FDY · 4.07 Faraday Copper Corp.
Executive Summary

Nemesia SARL, controlled by trusts settled by the late Adolf H. Lundin, acquired 971,830 common shares at C$4.4622 for approximately C$4.34 million. This transaction occurred as Nemesia's ownership stake in Faraday Copper Corp. was passively diluted from 19.11% to 13.25%. The dilution resulted from Faraday's issuance of 131,593,046 consideration shares to BHP Group Ltd., which was executed at a deemed price of C$4.9995 per share to facilitate the closed acquisition of the San Manuel Project. The filing serves as an Early Warning Report under National Instrument 62-103, triggered solely by the passive dilution resulting from the completed corporate action, not by new selling activity.

Material Impact

Faraday Copper Corp. (FDY) closed the acquisition of the San Manuel asset on October 15, 2026. The transaction involved the issuance of shares to BHP, a mechanism designed to transfer the asset and grant BHP a approximately 32% strategic stake. This share issuance resulted in the dilution of the Lundin stake, a direct mathematical outcome of the closed deal that the market had already priced in along with the resulting changes to the capital structure.

The regulatory filing serves as a confirmation of the transaction mechanics, introducing no new operational, financial, or strategic surprises. The update reflects the finalization of a previously announced material transaction and does not alter the company's development timeline, cash position, or strategic roadmap.

Company Overview

Faraday Copper Corp. (FDY) is a pre-development copper explorer focused on the Redhawk Copper Complex in Pinal County, Arizona. The complex combines the company’s 100%-owned Copper Creek project with the newly acquired San Manuel project.

Copper Creek hosts a 2023 NI 43-101 MRE of ~3.53 billion pounds of contained copper equivalent (M&I), featuring high-grade, near-surface breccia-hosted mineralization. San Manuel is a past-producing mine (1955–1999) with historical resources exceeding 4.5 million tonnes of copper. Modern drilling is required to update these estimates to current standards.

Development strategy is phased: Phase 1 targets copper cathode and open-pit sulphide production, followed by underground operations.
