Business Description


We are a North American mining company engaged in the full mining cycle, which includes acquisition, exploration, development and operation of mineral properties. In the past several years, we have evolved from being a major primary molybdenum producer to becoming a copper and gold mining company with the construction and development of our principal operating asset, our open-pit copper-gold mine and concentrator in British Columbia, Canada (“Mount Milligan Mine”).

In 2015, we shifted the core focus of our business to copper and gold while at the same time developing a strategy to maintain the optionality of our molybdenum business. This shift in core focus was primarily the result of expected ongoing weakness in the molybdenum market due to an overall weak global economy for molybdenum products. During 2015, we sold inventory produced at our molybdenum mines in 2014 and continued to operate our metallurgical facility in Pennsylvania, USA (the “Langeloth Facility”), roasting third-party molybdenum concentrate and other metals.

We were organized in 2000 as a corporation under the laws of Ontario, Canada, and were continued as a corporation under the laws of British Columbia, Canada in 2008. We are a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). In October 2006, we acquired Thompson Creek Metals Company USA, then a privately-held company incorporated and headquartered in the United States, and in so doing acquired TC Mine, Endako Mine and the Langeloth Facility. In October 2010, we acquired Terrane Metals Corp. (“Terrane”) and in so doing acquired the Mount Milligan development project, which is now Mount Milligan Mine. Through the Terrane acquisition we also acquired a copper, molybdenum and silver exploration property located in British Columbia, Canada (the “Berg Property”). Our corporate headquarters are in Littleton, Colorado, USA.

Our principal molybdenum products are molybdic oxide (also known as roasted molybdenum concentrate) and ferromolybdenum. Other products we produce include high soluble technical oxide, pure molybdenum trioxide and high purity molybdenum disulfide. Prior to December 31, 2014, we sourced molybdenum from our two primary mines, TC Mine and Endako Mine, and from third-party producers. As of January 1, 2015, our principal source for molybdenum concentrate was sourced from by-product production from copper mines in North and South America. In addition to toll converting such concentrate for third party suppliers, we also purchase this concentrate to upgrade and sell to other customers.

We produce copper and gold in a saleable concentrate at our Mount Milligan Mine and sell the concentrate to third parties, including smelters and traders, which we refer to as “MTM Customers.” We are currently party to four multi-year concentrate sales agreements.


Pricing under these concentrate sales agreements will be determined by reference to specified published reference prices during the applicable quotation periods. Payment for the concentrate will be based on the price for the agreed copper and gold content of the parcels delivered, less smelting and refining charges and certain other deductions, if applicable. The copper smelting and refining charges will be negotiated in good faith and agreed by the parties for each contract year based on terms generally acknowledged as industry benchmark terms. The gold refining charges are as specified in the agreements. Remaining concentrate produced at Mount Milligan Mine will be sold under short-term contracts or on a spot basis.
