you are a liar. from RNS. The figures you mention are case study 1 which does not include any sharktooth metal.
IÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The currently identified Mineral Resources would be exploited by open pit mining, heap leaching, solvent extraction and electro winning at the mine site. The project life is 13 years. The mineable resources are 16.140 million tonnes grading 0.48% copper in two separate open pit mines. Open pit slopes at 56o and the waste to ore ratio is 1.74:1. The mining rate is 4,970 tonnes per day of ore and 8,850 tonnes per day of waste and the processing rate is 3,550 tons per day of ore feed.
Â
IIÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â An Exploration Target is identified between M2 North and M2 South containing 3.63 million tonnes grading 0.52% Cu. The total Mineral Resource and Exploration Target quantity is 20.62 million tonnes grading 0.52% copper. The mineable quantity is 19.59 million tonnes grading 0.48% copper. Exploitation is by mining a single open pit, heap leaching, solvent extraction and electro winning at the mine site. The project life is 14 years. Open pit slopes at 56o and the waste to ore ratio is 1.51:1. The mining rate is 5,600 tonnes per day of ore and 8,450 tonnes per day of waste and the processing rate is 3,990 tonnes per day of ore feed.
Â
IIIÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â An Exploration Target is identified between M2 North & M2 South and M4 (Target 4), containing 32.15 million tonnes grading 0.52% copper. The postulated total quantity of mineralization comprises 52.77 million tonnes grading 0.52% copper, including the quantities estimated in Cases I and II. The mineable quantity is 50.13 million tonnes grading 0.48% copper. Exploitation is by open pit mining, heap leaching, solvent extraction and electro winning at the mine site. The project life is 19 years. Open pit slopes at 56o and the waste to ore ratio is 1.26:1. The mining rate is 8,000 tonnes per day of ore and 10,000 tons per day of waste and the processing rate is 8,000 tonnes per day of ore feed.
Â
IVÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â An Exploration Target is identified under Sharktooth Peak, which would be suitable for underground mining by block caving, containing 32 million tonnes grading 1.00% copper. The postulated total quantity of mineralization comprises 139.8 million tonnes grading 0.82% copper, including the quantities estimated in Cases I, II and III. The mineable quantity is 132.8 million tonnes grading 0.72% copper. Exploitation is by open pit and underground mining, heap leaching, solvent extraction and electro winning at the mine site. The project life is 23 years. Open pit slopes at 56o and the open pit waste to ore ratio is 1.26:1. The total mining rate is 16,500 tonnes per day of ore and 10,000 tons per day of waste and the processing rate is 16,500 tonnes per day
