25k tonnes by 2032?12 Mar 2026 15:00
Based upon these figures, I think we may have finally produced a total of 25k tonnes by 2032.
Total copper produced in 6 years = 12,352 tonnes.
Average copper produced each year = 2059 tonnes.
25,000 tonnes target / 2059 per annum = 12 years.
2019 + 12 years = 2031
Was that the 25k tonnes target that Leon was referring to back in 2019?

"The ramp-up of the copper circuit remains on track targeting 250 tonnes of plated copper cathode per month during Q1 2020, before stepping up to reach 400 tonnes per month from Q2 2020 resulting in early project cash flows during the construction of the zinc and vanadium refining circuits."
Total predicted for 2020 = 4350 tonnes
Total produced in 2020 = zero tonnes
