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 13.57km(2) 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.
