Some Common Features- Los Azules, Argentina & WRN, YukonTo me several similarities between projects-
1.Rio Tinto partner who has invested $25M into junior miner McEwen Copper, subsidiary to McEwen Mining.
2.Proposing open pit Los Azules copper, gold, silver mine.
3.Both large projects - Los Azules slightly smaller in size with shorter LOM than Casino.
4.Develop mine in stages using heap leach technology with RT's Nuton
Technologies for copper leaching.
5.Difficulty to raise capital to build a $4-6B mine, so the alternative is start with heap leach process.
6.Drilling Q4-22 to Q2-23 with a PEA completion in Q1-23.Slightly behind Casino development.
