Ø Avanco is pursuing development of it first 100% owned (Stage I) copper mine in the Carajas Province, Brazil.
Ø Independent review of key Feasibility Study areas is complete.
Ø The Study projects open pit mining of high grade ~3% Cu + 0.7 gpt Au
ore with a low strip ratio.
Ø Simple flotation plant with high recoveries, producing clean concentrates.
Ø Minimal infrastructure costs due to proximity of existing utilities.
Ø Early cash costs estimated to fall within 1st Quarter OPEX indices.
Ø Strong economic performance evident from high NPV to Capital Ratio.
Ø These positive outcomes justify continued study and progression to production as soon as possible.
Ø Existing Trial Mining License offers opportunity for accelerating the build program.
Ø Responsibility for engineering, procurement and construction assigned to recently appointed Operations Director.
Ø Stage I is the Company’s most advanced project ahead of the much bigger Stage II – PB Project...[straight from last announcement...STAGE I assessment supports fast track development]
With the focus on these critically strong attributes and the high quality technical staff @AVB...What potential FINANCIER/S would want this in their portfolio?....I would argue there are very few pre-production explorers globally that can boast these credentials...
