Tonnage of Rock Type Mined and Tailings Produced over Mine Life
The purpose of this process memorandum is to document information received from Resolution Copper regarding the variation in the lithology of mined material over the mine life. A similar process memo was prepared on August 9, 2017 identifying the percentages of material. This memo provides the same information, but based on tonnage instead of percentages.
This memo was updated in October 2018 to reflect additional information provided by Resolution Copper in February 2018.
