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.

Potential Job Creation

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
The project has an estimated pretax net present value, at a 7.5% discount rate, of $564 million and an internal rate of return of 26%.

Capital Expenditure
Preproduction capital expenditure is estimated at $332-million.

Planned Start/End Date
