Gibraltar is the second-largest open-pit copper mine in Canada.

Earlier this week, workers and the firm reached an initial agreement that required a vote by union members to go into effect.

The monetary value of the copper is about 110 million yuan ($15 million).

Wuchan Zhongda Group, which had sales of $80 billion in 2023, bought 2,000 tons of refined copper from a Russian smelter that should have been delivered last month.

The initiative leverages the real-time Ambient Noise Tomography survey capabilities of Fleet Space’s mineral exploration technology on a large scale geophysical survey in New South Wales.

Global inactivity reached 25.4% on May 8, with seasonal maintenance closures remaining a key feature, Earth-i said.

The Tucumã open-pit mine is expected to produce 7,000 to 25,000 tonnes of copper concentrate this year.

The country, which produced 698,000 tonnes of copper in 2023, is targeting 3 million tonnes in annual output within the next decade.
