Project Description
A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) has shown New Ingerbelle to be a low-capital, low-risk, high-quality development project.
The project is expected to have total production of 768-million pounds of copper and 550 300 oz of gold over its expected 12-year mine life, based on measured and indicated resources only.

Total mill feed mined is estimated at 175-million tonnes and total waste is expected to be 250-million tonnes for a low strip ratio of 1.43:1.
