PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Hillgrove Resources has produced its first copper ore from the Kanmantoo underground mine, in South Australia.

The first load of copper mineralisation from the underground operation has been delivered to the run-of-mine stockpile.

“This is a symbolic milestone which celebrates the excellent work by the team at Kanmantoo in taking the underground project from concept to first copper over the last three years. I look forward to finalising the funding and commencing production this year,” said Hillgrove CEO and MD Lachlan Wallace.

The Stage 1 underground operation at Kanmantoo would deliver 36 000 t of copper and 10 000 oz of gold over an initial three-year mine plan, at an all-in sustaining cost of A$6 991/t of copper.
