Strategic minerals supporting industrial development.
Two mining development areas are being evaluated around copper and silver resources, mineral beneficiation and potential downstream industrial integration.
Two development areas. One industrial strategy.
Mine A considers mining, crushing, grinding, flotation or beneficiation and potential downstream processing. Mine B considers mining and concentration facilities connected to the wider centralized platform.
| Development parameter | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Combined mineral processing | 6 Mtpa | Target |
| Mine A throughput | 3 Mtpa | Target |
| Mine B throughput | 3 Mtpa | Target |
Geology determines the development route
Historic development assumptions have considered a copper reference grade. This is not a verified resource estimate. Silver grades, resource quantities, recoveries and metallurgy must be established using actual geological and technical data.
- Copper and silver evaluated separately
- Geological verification
- Metallurgical testing
- Independent technical review
| Development parameter | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Historic copper reference grade | 2 % | Indicative assumption |
Potential saleable products
Final products depend on ore characteristics, processing routes, recoveries and commercial studies.
- Copper concentrate
- Copper cathodes or other refined copper
- Silver-bearing concentrate
- Refined silver or other saleable silver products
Responsible project development
Resource estimates, grades, production assumptions, recoveries and development concepts remain subject to geological verification, metallurgical testing, feasibility studies, regulatory approvals and final investment decisions.
