Super Copper Corp. (CSE: CUPR) announced on September 24, 2026, the first bench demonstration of CUPRIX, a copper-recovery and water-treatment biopolymer formulation being developed in partnership with MetaFLO Technologies Inc. The test, conducted in August 2026 at a joint laboratory in São Paulo, Brazil, produced a visible solid from a copper-bearing acidic solution that was subsequently reduced to small reddish metallic-looking beads. The company describes the result as qualitative proof of concept, with quantitative validation — covering recovery rates, purity, and cost — still to be established.

Key Points

  • Super Copper Corp. (CSE: CUPR) (OTCQB: CUPPF) (FSE: N60)
  • First bench test of CUPRIX demonstrated visible copper precipitation, filtration, and thermal reduction at the Super Copper–MetaFLO laboratory in São Paulo, Brazil
  • Composition and purity of the recovered solid have not been confirmed by assay; no recovery percentage, cost, or commercial performance has yet been established
  • Investors may be watching for results from the upcoming quantitative testing phase, which will measure recovery, selectivity, reagent dose, and cost parameters

What the August 2026 CUPRIX Bench Test Demonstrated

The demonstration was conducted in August 2026 at the Super Copper–MetaFLO laboratory in São Paulo, Brazil. CUPRIX was added to a strongly acidic, copper-bearing solution, triggering formation of a settleable solid recovered by vacuum filtration as an emerald-green wet cake. That material was then heated in a refractory crucible, producing small reddish beads with metallic lustre. The company states the test was qualitative only and did not establish copper recovery percentage, purity, selectivity, reagent consumption, cost, or commercial performance. These parameters remain to be evaluated in the next quantitative testing phase.

Potential Dual-Application Value for Copper Mine Water and Metal Recovery

Super Copper highlights two prospective applications from a single CUPRIX treatment step: recovering dissolved copper from process streams, and reducing metal concentrations in water for reuse or further treatment. The company notes that copper processing is water-intensive, particularly in arid mining regions, and that acid reagent costs represent a significant expense in oxide-copper leaching operations. CUPRIX is being developed as a potential alternative or complementary treatment to conventional lime-based methods. The company's stated success criteria require replicated, triply tested results benchmarked against untreated controls and checked by an independent accredited laboratory.

Investor Relations Engagement Update for Emerging Markets Consulting

Alongside the CUPRIX announcement, Super Copper disclosed that its previously announced engagement with Emerging Markets Consulting, LLC (EMC) for investor awareness and communications services is now expected to continue until October 15, 2026. The company states all other material terms of the engagement remain unchanged from those disclosed in its April 8, 2026 news release. The company did not disclose revised financial terms of the arrangement in this announcement.
