What Falco Resources does

Falco Resources Ltd. is a Canadian junior mining development company (TSX-V: FPC; OTCM: FPRGF) advancing the Horne 5 Project, a 100%-owned, gold-led polymetallic underground mine located beneath the former Horne mine in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec. The project contains 80.9 Mt of proven and probable reserves at 1.44 g/t Au over a 15-year mine life, with planned annual production of approximately 220,300 oz of payable gold plus by-product silver, copper, and zinc. Falco also controls approximately 67,000 hectares covering roughly 67% of the historic Noranda mining camp, including 13 former mine sites and an active exploration portfolio organized into Central, Eastern, and Western Camp areas.

The company's underlying technology is conventional bulk underground mining (transverse long hole stoping, 25-tonne LHD equipment with advanced automation and tele-operation) combined with a conventional SAG/ball mill flotation and cyanide leach-CIP processing circuit that recovers four commodities. The processing plant is designed to produce copper concentrate (~16% Cu), zinc concentrate (~52% Zn), and doré bars; tailings are partially used for paste backfill, reducing surface storage. Falco has no operating revenue because the project is in the final permitting stage, with the Quebec environmental assessment expected to complete in fall 2026 and a government decree anticipated by year-end 2026.

The business model is a B2B direct-offtake model: all copper and zinc concentrates are pre-sold to Glencore Canada under life-of-mine offtake agreements (signed October 27, 2020), with the Glencore Horne Smelter located less than 1 km from the mine; doré bars are sold into global precious metals markets. Project financing is structured through an up to US$180M silver stream with OR Royalties Inc. (US$35M received to date), senior secured loans and convertible debentures from both Glencore and OR Royalties, and equity raises (most recently a C$13.1M bought deal in October 2025 with Osisko Development Corp. as a ~16% related-party shareholder). Customers are metallurgical smelters and precious-metals refiners; pricing is commodity-linked to gold, silver, copper, and zinc spot prices.

Revenue model

1. Concentrate Sales (Copper and Zinc): Falco will sell copper and zinc concentrates produced from the Horne 5 Project to Glencore under concentrate offtake agreements concluded on October 27, 2020. Copper concentrate will be shipped to Glencore's Horne Smelter located less than 1 km from the mining complex, with anodes then shipped to Glencore's CCR refinery in Montreal. Zinc concentrate will be shipped to Glencore's smelters.
2. Precious Metals (Gold and Silver Doré): Gold and silver recovered through cyanide leaching and carbon-in-pulp (CIP) circuits will be refined into doré bars for sale. Average payable recoveries estimated at 88.3% for gold and 74.2% for silver.
3. Silver Stream Payments: OR Royalties Inc. provides staged payments totaling up to $180 million toward project funding under a silver stream agreement. OR Royalties purchases 90% of payable silver for $140 million, increasing to 100% if the optional $40 million installment is paid. Ongoing payments equal to 20% of spot silver price, subject to maximum US$6.00/oz. To date, $35 million has been received.
