â With upgrades at our Roan Concentrator and Sable Refinery, we are well-positioned to achieve our initial target processing capacity of 25 000 tonnes of copper per year. The recent milestones, including the ramp-up of our Munkoyo open-pit operation, near completion of our due diligence of Project G, which if successful will be brought into operation within 4 months, ensure a continued upward drive in our copper output. Our discussions to secure a further two open pit opportunities are progressing well and I am confident in our ability to secure further similar opportunitiesâ
and â Project G is the second open-pit mining operation being evaluated by Jubilee. The Company is nearing the completion of its due diligence, which has included full-scale processing trials at the Sable Refinery. A final decision on Project G is anticipated by the end of September 2024. The due diligence focuses on an initial mining rate of 10 000 tonnes per month achievable by February 2025, with an existing on-site upgrading facility of the run-of-mine material which already can produce 3 000 tonnes of copper concentrate per month, containing 10% to 15% copper, for refining at Sable. The lower grade copper reef will initially be stockpiled at source for future processing through the regional processing hub.â
Jubilee is also in advanced discussions regarding two additional open-pit mining opportunities in the Munkoyo and Project G region, as it aims to fully dedicate Sable's 16 000 tonne per annum copper refining capacity to processing open-pit mining resources. Jubilee has set a goal to achieve this by December 2025.â
