Here it is Northern:
"Project Roan β the large plant capable of feeding Jubileeβs Sable cathode β concentrate plant has been bult and is now being commissioned with full utilisation expected in July 2024. Although delayed this is a perfect test bed for the roll out of similar plants as part of the LG project with Abu Dhabi based IRH β Jubileeβs partner in this project. Jubilee also announces the tying up of two more copper open pit projects to supply copper ore for upgrade with a total of $3.6m being paid by way of the issue of 36.2m Jubilee shares. Project βMβ is set to produce 25ktpm grading 3-4% copper (due online in Q3 CY24) β Jubilee will own 95%. Project βGβ will produce 20ktpm grading 3-4% copper (due online in Q4 CY24) β Jubilee will own 51%. Both these new projects, together with existing ore sources, should see Jubilee produce up to 25kt/yr of copper in cathode/concentrate. 16kt through Sable (mostly cathode) with the rest, at the moment, for sale within Zambia. This will make Jubilee a flexible producer of scale.
WHI View: We applaud Jubileeβs effort in securing additional feed in Zambia. With its own production capacity due to be filled and some material available for sale, presumably in Zambia, it creates even more impetus, in our opinion, for Jubilee to sort out additional processing facilities so it can secure the value upgrade to copper for itself. We will put all our forecasts under review pending this data as we assess its implications. "
