• Underground copper + zinc mine• Sulphur + Oxides in stockworks

• Expected production: 3,000 tpd

• Metallurgy for copper: flotation

(sulphur) and leaching (oxide)(zinc will be considered a byproduct

for this exercise)

• Expected run-of-mine grade:

11+/- 2% (sulphur)

6+/- 1.5% (oxide)

• Stopes:

- sulphur A (grade: 20 +/- 4%)B (6 +/- 2.7%)

• Availability of Ore Bins

• Availability of Stockpiles

• Availability of Locomotive – number of mine cars

• Consider changes in current infrastructure, i.e. number of cars, equipment units,

skips and bin capacities for a production increase from 3,000 to 5,000 tpd
