Assay values from 20 holes indicate reserves of about 2,500,000 tonnes of 0.58% Cu beneath the ore zone planned for mining. There is a slight economic advantage in stockpiling and leaching this ore, but this would only be feasible if large...

Assay values from 20 holes indicate reserves of about 2,500,000 tonnes of 0.58% Cu beneath the ore zone planned for mining. There is a slight economic advantage in stockpiling and leaching this ore, but this would only be feasible if large quantities of water were available for the leaching process. Further work is recommended.
