“Based on current mining and processing rates, the current ore reserve at DeGrussa and Monty will allow low-cost, high-grade copper production to continue at full pace through the September 2022 quarter.

“This will put us in the best possible position to take advantage of the current copper price and maximize cash generation from what has arguably been one of the best copper deposits discovered in the world in recent times.

“Along with development activities at Motheo, we are also undertaking studies to assess the potential of a gold transition strategy at DeGrussa based on the development of the Old Highway gold prospect, taking advantage of existing processing facilities at the site.
