Copper Price Rising........

Copper price rising...........Head Grade?

Processing Plant
The processing plant has completed the commissioning phase for the native copper and sulphide concentrate facilities. A total of 348,768 dry metric tonnes (DMT) of ore was processed in the three months to the end of December 2016 at a head grade of 1.39% Cu. Copper produced was a total of 3,934 DMT of metal – 1,012 DMT in Native Copper and 2,922 DMT of copper metal in sulphide concentrate.

Processing Plant
Production ramp-up returned to acceptable rates in late March after lower than anticipated rates were achieved through January and February, partly due to shut-down periods. Total feed throughput included low and high-grade ore types sourced from stockpiles with 316,708 dry metric tonnes (DMT) fed to the HPGR to end March 2017. Head grades were estimated at 1.16% Cu for total production of 2,796t of copper metal (475t of copper metal in native copper concentrate and 2,321t of copper metal in copper sulphide concentrate).

Processing Plant
Total process plant feed for the quarter ending June 2017 was 591,009 DMT at an average grade
of 0.99%Cu. The plant was fed a variety of ore types: high aqua (HGO), spillage, high grade float
(HGF), low orange (HGG), high grade gravity (HGG), and low purple (HGG).
