Company Description
Magna Mining Inc. (OTCQX: MGMNF) is a producing mining company focused on copper, nickel and platinum group metals (PGMs) in the Sudbury mining district of Ontario, Canada. The company is listed on multiple markets, including the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NICU, the OTCQX market under MGMNF, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under 8YD. Magna’s operations and exploration projects are concentrated in one of the world’s best-known nickel-copper-PGM mining regions.
According to company disclosures, Magna’s primary asset is the McCreedy West Mine, a copper-precious metals and nickel operation located in the North Range of the Sudbury Basin. McCreedy West is described as being in production, with Magna reporting that Q3 2025 was its second full quarter of production at this mine. Ore from McCreedy West has been sourced from zones such as the 700 Footwall Copper Zone and the Intermain Nickel Zone, with copper-equivalent grades reported in company news releases.
In addition to McCreedy West, Magna highlights a portfolio of past-producing properties in the Sudbury district. These include the Levack Mine, Crean Hill, Podolsky and Shakespeare. The company characterizes these assets as highly prospective and notes that they provide a pipeline of near-term development and exploration opportunities. Levack, in particular, is frequently referred to as Magna’s flagship project in recent technical and exploration updates.
Operations and asset base
Magna describes itself as a producing mining company with a strong portfolio of copper, nickel and PGM assets in Sudbury. The McCreedy West Mine is identified as the current production center, while Levack, Crean Hill, Podolsky and Shakespeare are referenced as past-producing properties that are the focus of exploration, technical studies and potential restart planning.
At McCreedy West, company news releases outline ongoing underground development, diamond drilling and capital investment in equipment and infrastructure. Magna has reported underground development footage, tons of ore processed and copper-equivalent production from McCreedy West, and has discussed efforts to improve asset reliability and provide greater flexibility in mine planning.
At the Levack Mine, Magna has reported a Mineral Resource Estimate prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The Levack resource includes both footwall-type deposits containing copper and precious metals (including gold, platinum, palladium and silver) and contact-type deposits that are nickel- and copper-rich. Company disclosures note that the Levack resource includes Indicated and Inferred mineralization, with separate reporting for contact and footwall zones and sensitivity to different copper-equivalent cut-off grades.
Exploration focus in the Sudbury Basin
Magna’s news releases emphasize an exploration strategy centered on the footwall environment and contact nickel-copper zones in the North Range of the Sudbury Basin. At Levack, the company has highlighted drilling in the No. 1 and No. 2 contact Ni-Cu zones, the Keel Cu-PGE zone, and the R2 target in the footwall below the No. 3 Zone. Reported drill results include intervals with nickel and copper mineralization, as well as significant platinum, palladium, gold and silver grades.
The company notes that near-surface drilling on the No. 1 contact Ni-Cu zone at Levack is intended to support a restart study for the mine and to provide data for mineral resource estimation. In the deeper footwall environment, Magna has reported high-grade copper and precious metal intersections from the R2 target area, and has drawn comparisons between mineralization there and the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit within the Levack Mine.
Magna also reports the use of surface and underground diamond drilling, as well as downhole geophysical electromagnetic surveys, to refine geological models and target additional mineralization. Multiple drills have been deployed at Levack and McCreedy West to support both mine planning and exploration programs.
Technical reporting and regulatory framework
For its Canadian projects, Magna states that scientific and technical information is prepared and reviewed under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Qualified Persons, as defined by NI 43-101, are identified in the company’s news releases as responsible for reviewing and approving technical content, including mineral resource estimates and exploration results.
In its financial and operating updates, Magna also makes extensive use of non-IFRS performance measures such as cash costs per copper-equivalent payable pound, all-in sustaining costs (AISC), average realized price per copper-equivalent pound, and production costs per ton processed. The company provides reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to figures reported in its financial statements and notes that such measures are commonly used in the mining industry to assess operational performance.
Corporate positioning
Across multiple news releases, Magna states that it is strategically positioned to unlock long-term shareholder value through continued production at McCreedy West, exploration upside at Levack and other properties, and near-term development opportunities within its asset base. The company repeatedly emphasizes its focus on the Sudbury mining district and on copper, nickel and PGM mineralization.
Magna also discloses the existence of an omnibus equity incentive plan, described as a rolling 10% plan that allows for the grant of options, restricted share units, performance share units and deferred share units. Grants of options and deferred share units to directors and officers are periodically announced, with the company noting that the aggregate number of common shares reserved under the plan and other security-based compensation arrangements is limited to a percentage of issued and outstanding shares.
