“It’s the only permitted open pit copper deposit in the US"
“It’s the only permitted open pit copper deposit in the US" “It’s the only permitted open pit copper deposit in the U.S.,” Buffington said.
“It’s a big endeavor,” Buffington said, adding that the open pit would require a large campaign to strip the waste material before reaching the ore and the construction of a large mill.
“But the board and investors are very focused on building the underground,” he said. My thoughts is that the UG mine has loads of copper there that make it worth the investment and time to make work - with the RIGHT team.
He said the open pit is part of Nevada Copper’s strategy that begins with stabilizing the underground mining operations, then constructing an open pit and mill, and increasing exploration.
