## About the role

Still Bright is bringing the first viable hydrometallurgical alternative to copper smelting to market at a moment when global copper demand is outpacing supply by historic margins. Our proprietary RACER (Rapid and Complete Electrochemical Reduction) process delivers fast, complete copper extraction while recovering precious and critical co-products, and as a closed-loop system it offers precise control over outputs and radically reduces environmental impact.

## What they're looking for

- An active network among copper majors, mid-majors, and strategic intermediaries
- Direct experience structuring offtake agreements, joint development arrangements, tolling deals, licensing agreements, or strategic partnerships in mining, metals, or critical minerals
- Experience structuring phased or milestone-based commercial agreements where commitments scale with technical maturity, demonstrated performance, or staged deployment
- Experience commercializing novel technology in industrial or resource-intensive sectors where partner education and trust-building are central to the work
- Familiarity with multiple commercial levers—price, volume, term, exclusivity, milestones, equity components—and how they trade off across deal types
- Experience working with or alongside operating mine sites, industrial processing facilities, or industrial offtakers
