"Leading Canadian Copper's $96M Bathurst Complex financing and advancing a near-term copper production story in New Brunswick"
Biography
Simon Quick serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Copper Inc. (CSE: CCI), a junior mining company focused on advancing copper projects in New Brunswick, Canada. Under his leadership, the company has positioned itself as a near-term copper producer with a strategic land package in the prolific Bathurst Mining Camp, a region with a long history of base metal production.
Quick's most notable achievement to date is orchestrating a landmark $96 million project financing package for the Bathurst Complex, secured through a combination of debt, equity, and streaming arrangements with OR Royalties Inc. and Ocean Partners. This financing milestone is designed to cover initial capital costs for the Murray Brook project and fund the broader buildout of Canadian Copper's regional operations, marking a critical de-risking step on the path to production.
As CEO, Quick has articulated a clear three-pillar strategy for junior near-term producers: securing project financing, obtaining all necessary permits for construction, and executing the project successfully. His approach emphasizes leveraging existing infrastructure—including an operational mill—and consolidating a regional land package to build a scalable copper story rather than relying on single-drill exploration results. He has pointed to FireFly Metals as a business model worth watching in the junior copper space.
Quick has engaged with the broader mining investment community through platforms like The Deep Dive and the Rule Symposium on Natural Resource Investing, demonstrating his willingness to communicate transparently with retail and institutional investors alike. His focus on critical minerals, particularly copper, positions him and Canadian Copper within the broader thematic of energy transition metals demand.
