Description
Description | The Gunnison Copper Project is a conventional open pit, heap leach, SX/EW operation producing 99.999% pure copper cathode intended to supply United States energy, data center, manufacturing, and defense supply chains. The project includes a straightforward mine plan with a life of mine material placed on the leach pad of 541 million tons at 0.43% total copper grade, including 25 million tons at 0.85% total copper grade from the Strong & Harris satellite deposit. It aims for average annual copper cathode production of 174 million pounds for the first 15 years, with a total copper production of 3.2 billion pounds over a 21-year mine life. The project also plans to produce a cement co-product from high purity limestone overburden to alleviate regional cement supply deficit. |
