Name of the Project
Eva copper mine project.
Location
Queensland, Australia.
Project Owner/s
Harmony Gold Mining Company acquired 100% of the project and 16 exploration tenements from Copper Mountain Mining Corporation in December 2022.
Project Description
The Eva mine has been declared a ‘prescribed project’, given its importance to the region.
The mine is an iron-oxide/copper/gold resource poised to become the biggest copper mine in north-west Queensland.
The project has a current declared mineral resource of 366-million tonnes at 0.40% copper for 1.47-million tonnes of copper and 196-million tonnes at 0.07g/t gold for 440 000 oz
of gold.
The project has the potential to be a long-life conventional openpit mine, with a copper concentrator producing a highly saleable copper concentrate.
Harmony expects average copper production of between 50 000 t/y and 60 000 t/y, and gold production of about 14 000 oz/y, subject to the finalisation of the feasibility study.
