Capstone Copper Corp. ("Capstone" or the "Company") (TSX:
CS) has committed to the Copper Mark at its Mantos Blancos and
Mantoverde operations in Chile. The Copper Mark is an assurance
framework to promote responsible production practices and
demonstrate the industry’s commitment to the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals. Within one year, Mantos Blancos and
Mantoverde will be assessed and independently verified against the
Copper Mark’s 32 responsible production criteria, including
environmental management, greenhouse gas emissions, human rights,
community health, safety and development, and governance.
John MacKenzie, CEO of Capstone commented, “I am proud to share
that our Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde operations have joined the
Copper Mark framework, reaffirming our commitment to continually
pursue best practices based on international standards for
responsible mining. Copper is essential to a low-carbon future, and
so it is incumbent upon us to ensure that we supply this critical
natural resource in as sustainable manner as possible.”
Michèle Brülhart, Executive Director of the Copper Mark said,
“As the world’s leading copper producing country, it is vital that
production in Chile is conducted responsibly. That is why we are
pleased to welcome Capstone Copper’s Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde
operations in Chile to the Copper Mark. We will be working with
these sites through the Copper Mark framework to support their
commitment to provide responsibly produced copper and accelerate
the clean energy transition.”
Joining the Copper Mark is one of the ways Capstone is embedding
sustainability into its growth strategy. More information about
Capstone’s performance can be found in its sustainability reports

ABOUT THE COPPER MARK
The Copper Mark is a new assurance framework to promote
responsible practices and demonstrate the copper industry’s
contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The Copper Mark uses a rigorous site-level assessment process to
independently verify whether individual copper producing sites have
responsible production practices.
The Copper Mark already covers two of the largest copper mines
in the world, five producers in the biggest copper producing region
in the world, and six of the ten largest companies producing
copper. Over 20% of global copper is now produced by Copper
Mark-assured sites.
The Copper Mark is built on a genuine commitment of the copper
industry to responsible production as we aim to mitigate the
environmental and social impact of the copper industry, and
positively contribute to sustainable development goals and the
green transition. The Copper Mark framework involves a robust
three-year re-evaluation process at site-level for participants.
Participants commit to continual improvement, building the
management systems necessary to ensure ongoing legal
compliance.
