characteristics. This resulted in a very complex process plant design. The final design had a capital cost of approximately $200M. The scope of this current estimate was restricted to the Kundip resource and considered just two metallurgical domains –the low copper oxide and the high copper sulphide. This greatly simplifies the process design.
