AIC Mines is an Australian copper and gold mining company focused on growth through acquisition, exploration and development. The company owns and operates the Eloise Copper Mine in Northwest Queensland and is expanding through the nearby Jericho Copper Project. Underground access at Jericho has been established and commissioning of our expanded processing plant is on track for the December 2026 quarter, advancing the company's goal of increasing copper production from 12,500tpa to over 20,000tpa. AIC Mines is also actively exploring in the highly prospective Mt Isa-Cloncurry region across its 2,300sqkm tenement package, as it builds a new Australian mid-tier copper mining company.

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
AIC Mines is the only Australian copper growth story delivering on all fronts simultaneously. Eloise is operating consistently, underground access at Jericho is established with commissioning of the expanded Eloise plant on track for the December 2026 quarter, and we are one of the most active explorers in the Mt Isa-Cloncurry region. This is not a promise - it is a program already underway. The journey to over 20,000tpa of copper is happening as we speak, and a potential second stage expansion to ~25,000tpa is being evaluated. AIC Mines offers investors operational reliability, near-term production growth, and exploration upside - in a tier-one Australian jurisdiction, in the metal at the heart of the global energy transition.
