Kalkaroo copper project, Australia
Name of the Project
Kalkaroo copper project.
Location
The project is located at Kalkaroo, in north-east South Australia.
Project Owner/s
Havilah Resources.
Project Description
Kalkaroo has mineral ore reserves estimated at 100.1-million tonnes grading 0.47% copper and 0.44 g/t gold.
The prefeasibility study (PFS) supports a large-scale openpit mine, with an average production of 30 000 t/y of copper and 72 000 oz/y of gold expected over a 13-year production period.
The PFS is based on an owner-operated fleet.
The mining method is conventional opencut bulk mining using truck and excavator equipment.
The pit development is in a staged cutback to sequence extraction from generally high value to lower value, and shallower to deeper ore over the life of the mine.
