Gunnison Copper COO on 2026 Copper Production Goals

Gunnison Copper COO Robert Winton joined Steve Darling from the Vancouver Resources Investment Conference to share news about the conpaany’s recent milestones, ongoing production, and its ambitious outlook for 2026. The company, a pure-play copper producer based in southeast Arizona, operates two key projects—its namesake Gunnison project, which is at the PE (pre-feasibility) level, and the Johnson Camp Mine, where it has recently commenced production. Winton highlighted the company’s strategic partnership with Newton, the technology division of Rio Tinto, to produce pure copper directly feeding into the U.S. supply chain. He also discussed a unique collaboration with Amazon Web Services, through which Gunnison’s copper is being utilized in the infrastructure of future data centers. “We're breaking the trends with respect to copper technologies,” Winton said. The company is aiming for a production rate of two million pounds per month, with operations running both oxide and new Tom leach systems. Additionally, an updated Resource and Project Assessment (RPA) is expected within weeks, marking another milestone for the business. In a strong start to the year, Gunnison Copper has reduced its secured debt, freeing up capital to reinvest into operations—setting up what Winton describes as a “really big 2026” for the company and its investors. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncopper #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf #CopperMining #GunnisonCopper #MadeInAmerica #RioTinto #CriticalMinerals #DebtReduction #LimestoneDiscovery #MiningInvesting #USMining #MineralExploration #VRIC
