Gains Access to 88,000 Tonnes of Copper Currently Valued at $850 Million
RENO, NV / ACCESSWIRE / July 16, 2024 / M2i Global, Inc. ("M2i," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") (OTCQB:MTWO), a Company specializing in the development and execution of a complete global value supply chain for critical minerals for the U.S. government and U.S. free trade partners, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusive offtake agreement with NT Minerals Limited ("NTM") for 88,000 tonnes of Copper, which is currently valued at $850 million based on today's price of $9,653 per ton of Copper.
M2i is granted offtake rights for a maximum of 88,000 tonnes copper that is sourced from the Redbank tenements in return for 12 million shares of M2i Global Inc. NTM to receive additional payments for incremental resource increases or upgrades from the Redbank tenements. M2i retains the option to participate in production pre-funding opportunities.
Doug Cole, Executive Chairman of M2i, commented, "We are very excited with our strategic collaboration and to be working with NT Minerals. The opportunity to secure a substantial tonnage of future production of copper is significant in the establishment of a secure supply of critical minerals that are so important to the US economy and defense industry."
NTM Managing Director Rodney Illingworth commentated that "This agreement is a significant step in monetizing the current copper resources already identified and held by NT Minerals. It provides the necessary liquidity without dilution to expand our existing resources during the upcoming field season. It is also a vote of confidence in the Company's ability to identify and develop copper and critical mineral projects and we are excited to be working with M2i to ensure the elimination of sovereign risk on the availability and supply of critical minerals."
NTM's initial area of interest is centered on the Bluff Resource, notably a cluster of targets within a 600 meter radius of the Bluff deposit, these being Double Bluff, gravity targets - T24, T25 and T27 and Archimedes Targets - AT2 and AT4. Each of these targets have varying levels of support from each of the target generation concepts providing the Company confidence to undertake the planned drill program.
NTM considers this clustering of targets important as any future development may be potentially accessed from the same infrastructure. Additionally, a 1,700 m long linear copper geochemical trend has been identified northeast of Bluff, this trend is defined by the RN North geochemical anomaly at its northern extent and the T25 gravity/geochemical anomaly at its southern extent, with potential to extend this anomaly in both directions.
Importantly, this trend also includes the Quartzite Prospect, located some 650m WNW of Bluff and the subject of limited historical drill evaluation (12 holes) with a best reported intercept of 52m @ 1.34% Cu from 119m, including 8m @ 3.98% Cu from 163min drill hole QT35. The Company intends to investigate this trend, targeting the 500m long RN_North anomaly, Quartzite Prospect and the T25 gravity target with reconnaissance drill programs.
Regionally, NTM also plans to undertake regional reconnaissance work during the 2024 field season across several areas identified by previous explorers but that have not been fully evaluated since the original work. This includes the Mountain Home Prospect located in the Redbank West group of tenements where a recent geological review noted rock chip sampling along a 150m trend of surface workings/pittings returned assays of 32.73% Cu, 25.20% Cu, 15.69% Cu and 9.81% Cu with associated gold values up to 1.31 g/t Au.
This highly mineralized trend is coincident with an interpreted +5km long structure warranting further investigation. Other areas being targeted for regional reconnaissance work include Copperado, Wollogorang and Siegal Gap.
NTM is well advanced in progressing the requisite approvals for the various programs and has received expressions of interest and pricing from several well credentialed drilling contractors to undertake the planned programs. The commencement of the 2024 field season is currently scheduled for early July and is dependent on access after a very significant wet season.

The Company's vision and purpose is to develop and execute a complete global value supply chain for critical minerals for the U.S. and its free trade partners and create a strategic mineral reserve in partnership with the U.S. Federal Government. The reality is that the world outside of China faces a significant dearth of critical minerals necessary to fuel its reemergent manufacturing base. This supply problem leads to a very clear economic opportunity for the Company and others to develop these resources and supply this exploding demand over the next decade and beyond.
