RE:RE:Florence expected to become the primary source of copper... Stuart McDonald, President and CEO of Taseko, commented, "The strong finish to 2023 is expected to continue in 2024 as the Gibraltar pit will remain the main source of ore for the first half of this year."
So that leaves Florence as the only other possibility as the main source of ore for the second half of the year. If, for example, they inject acid into the ore on March 1, 2024, it may be ready to pull up as pure copper as soon as June 1, 2024, with the soaking period now able to be reduced from 1 year to only 90 days.
