How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Completion of San Manuel Acquisition

On October 15, 2026, Faraday announced the completion of the acquisition of the San Manuel project, which is adjacent to Faraday's Copper Creek project located in Arizona, USA, from a wholly owned subsidiary of BHP.

Under the terms of the San Manuel Transaction, Faraday acquired 100% of the San Manuel project. As consideration for the San Manuel Transaction, Faraday issued to subsidiaries of BHP (the "Consideration") 131,593,046 common shares, valued at an aggregate of $657.9 million, which is equivalent to a 30% interest in the issued and outstanding common shares on a fully diluted basis as of the date of closing. The price of common shares issued was determined to be $4.9995 based on the five-day volume-weighted average price of the Company's common shares during the five trading days immediately prior to closing. Including shares issued to BHP from its participation in the C$100 million private placement in March 2026, BHP holds approximately 138 million common shares at the date of closing, representing approximately 32% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis. In addition to the common shares, BHP has been granted customary investor rights pursuant to an investor rights agreement, provided it maintains a minimum shareholding requirement.

Redhawk Copper Complex

The 100% owned Redhawk Copper Complex includes the Copper Creek project and the San Manuel project. The Redhawk Complex holds a combined total of ~35,000 acres of private land. It is located in Pinal County, Arizona, approximately 70 kilometres ("km") northeast of Tucson and 180 km southeast of Phoenix.

Copper Creek Project

The project is a 100% owned, large copper deposit, located ~19 km northeast of San Manuel, Arizona. The resource area is ~3 km in length and is open in all directions. The property consists of ~80 square km of private land, patented and unpatented mining claims, and state prospecting permits. In addition, the Company controls ~26,000 acres of grazing leases which partially overlap with the claims and permits. The property is located within a historical mining district and a politically stable jurisdiction with extensive infrastructure including power, rail, roads, and access to skilled personnel.

The property is in the heart of the prolific southwestern porphyry copper region of North America at the projected intersection of a major northwest trending belt of copper deposits (Ray, Miami/Globe, Superior/Resolution, Johnson Camp) and a major east-northeast trending belt of deposits (San Manuel/Kalamazoo, Silver Bell, Lakeshore, Safford, Morenci).

The property hosts a porphyry copper deposit with high-grade, near-surface, breccia-hosted mineralization. Both mineralization types form the basis of the current Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum standards. Copper is the primary commodity, with molybdenum, silver and gold present in varying amounts associated with both types of mineralization.

On May 3, 2023, the Company announced an updated MRE and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the project, with a technical report titled "Copper Creek Project NI 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment" filed on SEDAR+ on June 13, 2023.

With a total of over 260,000 m of recent and historical drilling and modest past production, significant exploration upside remains. There are over 320 known breccia occurrences mapped at the surface, of which less than 20% have been drill tested and only 17 are included in the 2023 MRE.

In the Phase II drill program, assay results confirmed the potential for gold to occur in economic concentrations in certain phases of the mineralization. Gold is not currently included in the 2023 MRE. A sampling program for potential gold inclusion in future technical studies was undertaken. The results from the Childs Aldwinkle and Copper Prince breccias, as well as the Keel underground zone, have been returned and released. The Company continues to evaluate other areas for potential inclusion of gold in future mineral resource updates.

Phase III drilling was completed in mid-April 2025 with 79 drill holes and 30,071 m of drilling. All results from Phase III drilling have been released. The program's framework was based on historical work, knowledge from the geological and recently updated structural model, the results from the Phase I and Phase II drill programs, geophysical and airborne spectral data sets, and economic criteria defined in the 2023 PEA base case. The focus of drilling was on the near-surface mineralization in the American Eagle, Area 51 and Rum areas.

On June 30, 2025, the Company received approval of its Exploration Plan of Operations ("EPO") by the BLM. The BLM published the final environmental assessment, and finding of no significant impact and issued a related decision record approving the EPO. The EPO includes up to 67 drill pads located on Federal land:

• 48 drill pads in or near the American Eagle area and the southern portion of the Mammoth resource area;
• 10 drill pads in or near other existing resource areas at Old Reliable, Globe, Copper Prince and Copper Giant; and
• 9 drill pads that enable reconnaissance drilling on previously untested targets.

Phase IV drilling commenced in September 2025 with the primary objective of open-pit resource definition, which was completed. With the proposed acquisition of the San Manuel Property, drilling was paused on June 20, 2026, with 88 drill holes and 22,510 m of drilling having been completed. To date, the Company has released results from 19,496 m drilled in 76 holes. The 12 remaining drill holes are not material to future resource updates and assay results will be released as they are received, analyzed and confirmed by the Company.

The Company has reported results from metallurgical programs focused on grind size optimization that demonstrated the viability of coarse particle flotation, gold recoveries in concentrate and test work on near surface oxide mineralization.

The Company is focusing on resource expansion at the property while continuing to advance technical studies, environmental data gathering, and stakeholder outreach.

San Manuel Project

The San Manuel project comprises the legacy San Manuel Copper Mine (including the San Manuel and Kalamazoo deposits and land associated with the legacy processing infrastructure), the Black Hills Quarry and the Camp Grant Quarry. The San Manuel project previously operated as a combined underground block cave and open‑pit mine. The combined operation was one of the largest underground mines in the USA, generating over 4.2 million tonnes (4.65 million short tons) of copper between 1955 and 1999 based on publicly available historical production records. Historical copper production was predominantly from underground sulphide material feeding a concentrator, while notable cathode production was achieved later in the mine's life by mining and processing of oxide material, including in-situ recovery. A significant historical resource estimate¹ remained at closure, however, the resource is not compliant under the current standards of NI 43-101².

The mineralization at San Manuel and Kalamazoo is well-understood. Sulphide mineralization occurs within Laramide porphyry intrusives and the surrounding Oracle granite. Supergene (oxide) mineralization formed later during tectonic extension. The Kalamazoo deposit is the downthrown extension of mineralization which was offset along the San Manuel fault. Significant exploration upside remains at the project, with limited modern exploration conducted.

A technical report on San Manuel titled "Technical Report San Manuel Property Pinal County, Arizona" was prepared by an independent qualified person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, which was filed on Faraday's SEDAR+ profile on July 30, 2026.

Source and Uses of Cash

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $32,117,741 (2025 - cash used in operating activities of $18,018,027), cash used in investing activities was $24,970,786 (2025 - $549,510), and cash provided by financing activities was $110,259,208 (2025 - $47,449,611). The Company continues to incur operating costs primarily related to exploration and evaluation expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company raised net proceeds of $99,702,608 (2025 - $46,964,411) from the issuance of common shares in a non‑brokered private placement. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had cash inflows of $4,871,600 (2025 - $35,200) from the exercise of stock options, and $5,685,000 (2025 - $450,000) from the exercise of warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is a resource exploration-stage company and does not generate any revenue and has been mainly relying on equity-based financing to fund its operations. As at September 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $94,009,751 (December 31, 2025 - $37,880,822) and current assets less current liabilities of $115,370,534 (December 31, 2025 - $35,424,377).

While the Company has sufficient capital resources to fund its operations for the next 12 months, it is an exploration-stage company and does not anticipate achieving positive cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company anticipates needing to raise additional capital to fund its long-term business objectives.

On July 29, 2025, the Company completed a private placement financing for net proceeds of $46,964,411, which included share issuance costs of $1,809,039. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the financing to advance the Copper Creek Project and for general working capital purposes.

On March 11, 2026, the Company completed a private placement financing for net proceeds of $99,702,608, which included share issuance costs of $299,392. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the financing to advance the Copper Creek Project, due diligence and integration costs related to the acquisition of the San Manuel project, and for general working capital purposes.
