197 million tonnes at 0.31% copper and 0.26 g/t gold at Copper Hill
See the Golden Cross Resources NewsDesk for more information
A possible 30 million tonne start-up pit with head grades of 0.5% copper and 0.5g/t gold is being planned
- Lower capital cost
- Faster time-line to production
- Water and power requirements reduced
- Regulatory approval process will be much less complex
- Higher grades, with an initial 10Mt pit at 0.50% copper and 0.66g/t gold
At this stage the mostly likely development strategy is for an initial mining rate of about 2 to 3 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), and a staged build-up that minimises up-front capital, in association with selective high grade mining and low grade stockpiling to maximize cash flow in the early years.
