The key steps of the proposed mining operation would include:

• Preparing the site which includes vegetation clearing
• Drilling and blasting of the ore and waste rock
• Open-pit mining of ore and waste rock using large mechanical shovels, excavators and trucks
• Hauling waste rock from the open-pit to the Waste Rock Storage Facility (WRSF) and ore to the ore stockpile or the crusher which feeds into the ore conveyor
• Transporting ore, via conveyor, from the crushers to the concentrator for processing to produce a copper-gold concentrate and tailings
• Storing tailings and waste rock in the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF)
• Transporting copper-gold concentrate from the mine site to the port via a pipeline.
