Reserves and Resources were updated as of December 31st, 2015.

The resource and reserve estimation was completed by Copper Mountain mine staff under the supervision of Peter Holbek, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Holbek has verified the methods used to determine grade and tonnage in the geological model, and mine plan.

Mine Details

The Copper Mountain mineral claims cover approximately 18,000 acres and consist primarily of 135 crown grants, 176 mineral claims and 14 mining leases. Copper Mountain is located in an area with well–developed infrastructure. The property is accessible by a combination of highways and paved roads, and it is close to the port of Vancouver that provides service for shipment of copper concentrates. The mine is a 20–minute drive from local communities that provide goods, services and personnel.
