Jubilee and IRH entered into a binding framework and JV agreement in December 2023 under which terms IRH will provide the capital for the implementation of the project with Jubilee appointed to implement and operate the project, subject to due diligence and finalisation of definitive agreements.
Project Description
The project is targeting the processing of more than 260-million tonnes of copper-containing surface material.
