The project comprised an open pit mine, a 50 kt/d mill to produce 163 kt/a Cu and 287 t/a silver over a 14-year mine life. However, this life was, in 2021, extended to 2051. In 2018 the mill capacity reached 54.3kt/d ore but in 2019 and 2020 was 50.5kt/d ore and 51.6kt/d ore respectively. For 2022 the DMH plans was to marginally expand the concentrator to 57kt/d ore and the roaster to 600kt/a concentrate in 2023. This report contains a detailed asset note giving you a holistic view of the asset, including an operational overview through to a timeline of events from inception to now.
