A World Class Copper District
Mineral Resources Measured and Indicated:
235 million tonnes 3.01% copper / 0.31% cobalt
Inferred:
264 million tonnes 2.60% copper / 0.19% cobalt *NI 43-101 June 2006, Mintec and Nilsson Mine Services
Mine Plan and Resource Expansion
• 40 year mine plan • Kwatebala, Fwaulu and Goma deposits developed first
• Open pit - low strip ratio • First 10 years grade 4.57% copper and 0.40% cobalt
• Prove up new high grade for expansions with aggressive drilling > 50,000 m/year
Development Plan
• • • • •
Initial phase – 115,000 tpa Cu cathode / 8,000 tpa Co Construction in progress – direct cost $US900 million Production start-up in 2009 Cash costs in lowest quartile Objective to expand to + 400,000 tpa copper
