I'm curious about this here...
715kt of copper / 26 years = an average of 27.5kt pa.
Admittedly the 'primary resources' were 1.4% CU with a cut off grade of 0.5%, and the 'secondary resources' were 1.1%
(R.N Carver, 2001).
Compared to our current resources, this doesn't differ too much:
However, since then; heap leaching technology has come a long way - and I believe CYM's intellectual property will be a major breakthrough...
Could nifty potentially end up processing substantially more than the benchmark 20ktpa if exploration and/or our process proves favourable?
Can't wait until we receive the Western extensional drilling results and phase 2 of the Eastern drilling results.
