CONVENTIONAL MINE DESIGN SUPPORTED BY HIGH GRADE RESERVES

Mineral Reserves: ~1.5 million tonnes @ 1.08% contained Cu

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate:

  • Indicated1: ~3.1 million tonnes @ 0.95% contained Cu

  • Inferred: ~3.3 million tonnes @ 0.79% contained Cu

    Accessed by conventional twin decline drifts

    Underground mining will primarily use longhole stoping and local drift-and-fill

    Will utilize the latest mining equipment, including Railveyor, a tele-remote-operated electric fleet, mine telemetry, and grade control technologies
