Ann: Scoping Study Reveals Exceptional Economics-Ngami Cu Project, page-62

What I find most compelling about the ISL process is the potential for pure copper cathode to be produced right on site at Ngami. Compare the traditional copper refining process from ore to cathode, which loses small percentages of copper at each phase, and you can see that the ISL method is clearly going to have much lower capex and opex by eliminating parts of the conventional mining, grinding, no movement of oreand waste, avoiding leach pads, tailings, and waste dumps. CBE seems to be showing that the "goldilocks" scenario in terms of ore body characteristics, permeability for controlling the solution, water table, etc., are there. Will be great to see the Taseko Florence ISL Project begin producing in 2025.
