Ann: World best copper grades from native copper zone, page-3

I do love this bit. I am imaging a few calculators feverishly calculating the daily profits from these figures…….now, the trick is…… how many of these truck loads are there?????


To illustrate the value of the Las Minerale high-grade native copper zone being mined; each dump truck load of 30% Cu ore carries an approximate value of ~A$210,000 of copper metal per truck. With a dump-truck being loaded every three minutes, approximately A$1m worth of contained copper metal is being mined from these high-grade zones every 15 minutes.
