Acquisition of Land: Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (ASCU) has acquired 2,123 acres of private land adjacent to its Cactus Project, which includes 2,043 acres from a consortium of landowners and an additional 80-acre parcel. This acquisition is expected to support the development and operations plan for the project, including necessary infrastructure for copper extraction.
Financial Terms and Future Plans: The average purchase price for the land was approximately $49,200 per acre, with a portion of the payment deferred over four years under favorable vendor loans. ASCU anticipates securing project financing by Q4 2026 to facilitate further development and potentially pre-pay the vendor loans.
