Mining copper tailings could answer supply deficits later this decade
Copper miners are taking another look at extracting value from their waste rock dumps thanks to the record recent copper price rally and the application of new technology.
The Toronto-based gold miner reported an adjusted net loss of $2.2m, or roughly $0 per share, falling short of analysts' expectations of $0.01 per share.
The Australian miner believes that Cascabel and now Porvenir are the first in a long, large and rich string of copper-gold projects it will develop in Ecuador.
The new legislation goes further than ever before, looking at not only the domestic mineral resources but the supply chains that refine the raw materials for electric vehicles.
