Executive Summary

  • Kodiak Copper Corp. has initiated the next phase of metallurgical testwork for its 100%-owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in Southern British Columbia.
  • This program builds on maiden test results received in Q2 2025 and aims to optimize copper and gold recoveries through enhanced flotation processes and gold characterization studies.
  • Results are expected in Q1 2026 and will be used to support mineral resource definition and guide future project development.

Key Details

  • Project Scope: The testwork involves composite samples from six specific deposits and mineralized zones at the MPD project: Gate, Man, Dillard, West, Adit, and South.
  • Technical Objectives: The program focuses on enhancing recoveries for both copper and gold. Specific activities include gold characterization studies and the optimization of rougher and cleaner flotation processes.
  • Timeline: The program is expected to yield results in Q1 2026.
  • Purpose: Results will support mineral resource definition work and guide the development of the project.
  • Contractors:
    • Program Manager: JDS Energy and Mining Inc. (an international mining consultancy with extensive experience in porphyry copper projects in British Columbia).
