Koryx Copper Provides Interim Update on Pre-Feasibility Study Progress for the Haib Copper Project in Southern Namibia
An interim update on the Haib Copper Project PFS in southern Namibia sets the base case at 48 Mtpa of run-of-mine crushing, with coarse particle flotation rejecting about 12 Mtpa of coarse gangue at 0.05% Cu ahead of a 36 Mtpa flotation circuit; the heap leach component of roughly 50 Mt of oxide material is no longer in the base case.
