Located completely on private land, our underground mine will have an extremely small footprint above and below ground. The underground workings contain approximately 14.5 million tons of copper-enriched rock encompassed in an area of 3,000 feet by 2,000 feet. The surface disturbance of the mine workings is planned for a footprint of 310 acres, within an overall permit boundary of 1,888 acres. A four-wire fence will surround the surface facilities which include the 80 acre cemented tailings facility, 20 acre process water pond, roads, parking areas, plant facilities, and the temporary waste rock storage areas. A tall wildlife protection fence will surround each pond and the dry cemented tailings facility.
