(TSX:GCU, NYSE American:GUNN) is a pure-play copper company with a producing mine in Arizona and a large development project next door.

Rio Tinto funded construction and ramp-up in full, and Johnson Camp's profits repay that funding until mid-2030, when any remaining balance falls away. Nuton then holds a one-time right to become a 49% joint venture partner. After Stage 2, Hallworth expects the sulfide share of production to fall to around 17%.\nAcid is the biggest operating cost pressure.
