Copper mining news

Australia's first zero carbon copper and gold developer is advancing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) to assess the potential for a standalone mining operation at Mt Chalmers – a past-producing mine.

Anglo American and Jiangxi Copper Co. have signed an MOU to work together to provide greater assurance on the way copper is mined, processed, and brought to market.

Continuing development at Havieron surpasses 2400 m and drilling continues to intercept significant zones of high-grade gold and copper mineralisation.

Only 2% of this highly prospective, giant mineral system has been drilled to date – demonstrating enormous potential for additional discoveries through future drilling currently being planned.

The Atlantic Nickel nickel sulphide mine in Santa Rita and the Mineraçao Vale Verde copper mine in Serrote will be acquired on a cash and debt-free basis from funds advised by Appian for an enterprise value of US$1 billion.

The high-resolution drone survey has helped identify copper-gold drill targets.

The programme plans to complete 12 to 15 drill holes exceeding 12 000 m and is focused on making new copper-gold porphyry discoveries.

A new collaboration between BHP and Microsoft has used artificial intelligence and machine learning with the aim of improving copper recovery at the world’s largest copper mine.

Epiroc has won a large order for mining equipment, including battery-electric vehicles and automation solutions, from Boliden for use at three of its underground mines in Sweden.

The Project is surrounded by a cluster of known porphyry copper deposits including, the Resolution Deposit, the Miami-Inspiration District, Ray, Silver Bell, Lake Shore, Florence Copper, and others.
