Wetar Copper Project (85% Finders, earning more with expenditure)
Click Here for Latest Project Update
»Commercial scale demonstration plant with 100,000t test heap under construction
»5tpd Cu SXEW plant start-up early October 2008
»Targeting 80% ultimate Cu recovery,
through bacterial heap leaching
»Strong exploration upside
»Permitting process on track
»Robust, high grade Resource Base (JORC)
»Open pit mining, low strip ratio, coastal location
»Feasibility study - Heap leach SXEW operation
to produce 25kt cathode/year
Fast Track Schedule - Target Time Lines
»Q3 2008 test heap commence irrigating
»Cathode copper production from October 2008
»Cash flow from Demo plant from November,
up to 150t Cu cathode / month
»Complete feasibility study for full scale
25,000tpa plant December 2008
»Initial production January 2010
