The Gunnison Copper Project is a conventional open pit, heap leach, SX/EW operation producing 99.999% pure copper cathode. It involves mining primarily oxide copper mineralized material 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.

Description
Description | The Gunnison Copper Project is a conventional open pit, heap leach, SX/EW operation producing 99.999% pure copper cathode. It involves mining primarily oxide copper mineralized material 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. The project includes primary and secondary crushing to improve copper recoveries, with an average annual copper cathode production of 174 million pounds for the first 15 years and a total copper production of 3.2 billion pounds over a 21 year mine life. The project also includes a cement plant to produce a cement co-product from high purity limestone overburden to alleviate regional cement supply deficit. |
