Halo Minerals plc (company number 06370792) is a mineral development company focused on the evaluation and potential development of mineral assets. The Company's principal asset is the Playa Verde Project comprising 6 mining concessions over an area of approximately 13.57km2 of copper-bearing tailings located in the coastal town of Chañaral in the Atacama Region of northern Chile. The Company plans to advance the Playa Verde Project on an accelerated timeline to production, utilising the funds raised on Admission, which is expected to take the project to a final investment decision, or to a stage when alternative material project funding options are available for the Project. Following any such decision being made or funding obtained, the Company would intend to begin the construction phase of the Project. The Company also intends to pursue additional growth opportunities in Chile and potentially in other international jurisdictions.
In March 2025, the Company acquired the Copper Bay Group, through which the Playa Verde Project is held. The total consideration payable for the acquisition of the Copper Bay Group is US$7.5 million. This is payable on a deferred milestone basis with the first instalment of $3.75 million, which will become payable on the production of 7,500 tonnes of copper (either in cathode or concentrate form) from the Project, and the balance of $3.75 million when production reaches 15,000 tonnes.
The Company intends to reclaim and process the copper tailings in a purpose-built facility using low-cost conventional technologies to produce copper cathodes and a copper concentrate.
