JX Advanced Metals Corporation
Notice Regarding Additional Transfer of Shares in SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile,
Operator of Caserones Copper Mine
JX Advanced Metals Corporation (President: Hayashi Yoichi; the "Company") has entered into an agreement with
Lundin Mining Corporation (CEO: Jack Lundin; "Lundin") to transfer 19% of the shares of SCM Minera Lumina
Copper Chile (CEO: Marcelo Maccioni; "MLCC"), which operates the Caserones Copper Mine in Chile, to LMC Caserones SpA(the "Subsidiary of Lundin"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lundin. The Company previously transferred 51% of the shares of MLCC to the Subsidiary of Lundin on July 13, 2023, at which time it granted to Lundin a call option to acquire an additional 19% of the shares within one to five years at a price of 350 million USD. Lundin has now exercised that option earlier, and upon the completion of this transaction, the Company will have transferred to Lundin 70% of the shares of MLCC.
Lundin has extensive knowledge and high mine operation capability. Since last July, MLCC has been working with Lundin to further improve productivity and cost competitiveness. Going forward, the MLCC will further promote these efforts and pursue the possibility of more efficient and long-term business operations through the development of the entire region, including the mineral exploration areas around the mine.
This change will result in the focus business coming to represent a larger proportion of the Company's overall profit structure, while aiming to control volatility in the mineral resources business and strengthen its long-term earnings base. Going forward, the semiconductor materials field will be at the center of the Company's accelerating growth; as such, the Company will concentrate its management resources on this field, and particularly on sputtering targets for semiconductors, which are highly profitable and for which rapid demand growth is projected.
The JX Advanced Metals Group will continue to actively and flexibly promote various initiatives toward the realization of its Long-Term Vision 2040.
