Copper Creek is a large, undeveloped project, which hosts multiple breccia and porphyry copper deposits. The results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) were released by the company in a news release dated May 3, 2023. The PEA contemplates an open pit mining followed by an underground operation over a 30+ year mine life.
