Kudz Ze Kayah is BMC's wholly owned, 372-square-kilometre polymetallic development project in Yukon. The property contains the ABM deposit, including the ABM and Krakatoa zones, and the copper-rich Kona satellite deposit. The feasibility plan for the proposed ABM mine combines open-pit extraction with long-hole open-stope underground mining beneath Krakatoa and a nominal two-million-tonne-per-year flotation plant producing zinc, copper and high-precious-metals concentrates. The current reserve-based plan contains 15.7 Mt of probable reserves and has an 8.8-year mining period. Binding offtake arrangements cover 95% of concentrate production during the first five years, and Wheaton Precious Metals holds a gold and silver purchase arrangement. A positive environmental Decision Document was issued in April 2026. The Type B Water Licence and five-year Class 3 Quartz Mining Land Use Approval have been received. The Type A Water Licence is at public comment stage, and 17 of 19 Quartz Mining Licence management plans are deemed technically compliant; Fisheries Authorization and ancillary permits remain in progress. BMC outlines 30,000 metres of diamond drilling and geophysics aimed at expanding the existing resource base ahead of a revised Feasibility Study.
