PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Copper miner Altona Mining has reported a 17% increase in the contained copper resource at its Kylylahti underground mine, which forms part of the Outokumpu copper project, in Finland.

The resource for Kylylahti currently stood at 8.8-million tonnes, grading 1.33% copper, 0.78 g/t gold and 0.54% zinc for some 117 480 t of copper, 222 595 oz of gold and 47 401 t of zinc.

Altona noted that a reserve estimate based on the resource was currently in progress.

Underground mining at Kylylahti has been ongoing for some two years, and Altona noted that the deposit had proven to be more continuous than originally thought.
