Foran Mining wants to develop world’s first carbon-neutral copper project
The miner will record emissions and purchase offsets for the carbon emitted from exploration activities over the past decade at the McIlvenna Bay deposit.
The project now contains 423 million indicated tonnes grading 0.41 gram gold per tonne, 0.22% copper, 4.6 grams silver and 41 parts per million molybdenum.
Mining stopped on March 8, when members of the Asociación Obrera Minera Argentina (AOMA) downed tools, and processing activities have now also ceased following the exhaustion of surface stockpiles.
Why is Justin Trudeau risking his political career to rescue the construction firm? It comes down to three things: jobs, SNC’s political clout and the special status that many Quebec companies hold.
