Gilbert Clark: Meridian Mining Nears a Major Financing Decision

Mining Stock Daily

About

Meridian Mining CEO Gilbert Clark joins Trevor Hall at the Precious Metals Summit in Zurich to discuss significant progress toward financing and developing the Cabaçal Copper-Gold Project in Brazil. With approximately 20 project financing proposals received, including several offering full funding packages of up to US$400 million, Clark outlines the company's approach to selecting the right financing partner while managing shareholder dilution. The conversation covers Cabaçal's US$322 million initial capital requirement, the importance of its copper concentrate quality, and ongoing engineering and infrastructure work ahead of a targeted final investment decision in Q1 2027. Clark also discusses the outlook for permitting following Brazil's elections, growing institutional interest, and Meridian's strategy of using future production cash flow to support exploration across its broader portfolio.
