The Mengapur Polymetallic deposit contains a historical Copper
(Cu), Sulfur (S), Gold (Au), Silver (Ag) oxide and sulphide resource.
“NI 43-101 Technical Report, Mengapur Project (Amended) (Snowden, January 2012)”.
Extensive metallurgical work was completed at the Company’s inhouse R&D laboratory to support the design and construction of an
iron/copper beneficiation plant. The Company had been refurbishing
and upgrading its 1,000 tpd pilot plant, but with the sharp decline in
iron price and the slide of copper, the start-up has been put on hold.
The Company intends to exploit Intec Technology in copper
sulphides to assess economic viability of copper metal production.
