Copper Mountain Mine: Exploration

The Copper Mountain Mine has an 18,000 acre land package with multiple prospective targets. In 2008, the company succeeded in finishing one of the largest drill programs in British Columbia (106,000 meters) and increased the resource estimate by 45% to 5 billion pounds of copper.

The goal of the program was achieved when the results of drilling confirmed continuity of mineralization between the pits which allowed for the development concept of a new merged pit, known as the 'Super Pit'. This new Super Pit is still open to the north, southeast and northwest, as well at depth.
