Proactive interview with Patrick Henze, Chief Financial Officer, discussing the benefits of ACG’s hedging agreement

At ACG Metals, our mission is to become a significant player in the global copper market. As part of this strategy, we recently announced a hedging agreement designed to optimize cash flow during our transition from gold and silver production to full-scale copper production by 2026.

Our Chief Financial Officer, Patrick Henze, had a brief yet informative interview with Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion where he discussed our newly implemented hedging strategy and how it plays a vital role in securing our cash flows while capitalizing on favorable market conditions.

Key Highlights from the Interview

• Strategic Gold Hedging: We have hedged 50% of our gold production at $2,875 per ounce—15% above our budgeted price and 24% higher than consensus forecasts, ensuring a strong financial position.
• Maintaining Upside Potential: While 50% of our gold production is secured through hedging, the remaining 50% remains unhedged, allowing us to benefit from rising market prices. Additionally, our silver production remains fully unhedged.
• Financial Security & Growth: The hedging strategy provides more certainty for our financials in 2025, protecting bond coupon payments, stabilizing cash flows, and creating a buffer to support future expansion.
• Path to Becoming a Leading Copper Producer: With our first acquisition, the Gediktepe mine in Turkey, ACG Metals is leveraging a highly cash-generative asset to establish itself as a major player in the copper industry. The fully funded transition into copper production by 2026 remains on budget and on schedule.

Why This Matters

Market conditions are ever-changing, and as we move forward with our growth strategy, risk management remains a top priority. This hedging program allows us to navigate market volatility while ensuring financial stability for our investors, bondholders, and stakeholders.
