What Imbin has to measure up to

The dirt is similar to the DeGrussa Mine.

So while we wait for the drilling results lets look at how good DeGrussa is/was

This will give us some idea how Imbin measures up to DeGrussa

The DeGrussa Mine at Doolgunna, in the Murchison Region of Western Australia, about 900 kilometres north of Perth, is being developed as both an underground, as well as an open pit operation. It is destined to become Western Australia's largest copper mine with resources of 742,000 ounces of gold and 652,000 tonnes of contained copper.

The open pit itself is expected to produce 143,000 tonnes of DSO (Direct Shipping Ore ) with a grading of 25.6 percent copper and 2.5 grams a tonne of gold. This is expected to return 37,000 tonnes of copper.

During its lifetime the DeGrussa underground operation will mine an expected 10.72 million tonnes of ore grading at five percent copper and 1.7 grams per tonne of gold. This will return around 599,000 ounces of gold and 541,000 tonnes of copper. The sulphide present in the underground deposit will also be processed by means of a traditional 1.5 million tonnes a year flotation plant.

The DeGrussa processing plant produces concentrate at a rate of 300,000 tonnes annually with a grading of 27 percent copper for the first two years up to 2015 and 220,000 tonnes annually from 2016 going forward over the life of mine (LOM). Total copper production will amount to 480,000 tonnes along with 270,000 ounces of payable gold.
