Copper Mountain Announces Production Results for Q2-2017
Vancouver, British Columbia - July 13, 2017 - Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (TSX: CMMC) (the Company or Copper Mountain) announces production results for the second quarter of 2017, from the Copper Mountain Mine, located in southern British Columbia.
Second Quarter 2017 Production Highlights:
- Annual production on track: Produced 17.2 million pounds of copper, 5,856 ounces of gold, and 63,179 ounces of silver during the second quarter, bringing the first half year production totals to 35.3 million pounds of copper, 11,718 ounces of gold, and 127,440 ounces of silver.
- Mill throughput: Milled 3.2 million tonnes of ore at an average rate of 35,674 tpd, with 82.4% operating time. Copper recovery for the period was 77.6% treating an average grade of 0.31% copper.
- Mine production strong: Mined approximately 200,000 tonnes of material per day during the second quarter.
The mill successfully completed the planned replacement of the SAG mill bull gear in April, ahead of schedule. Downtime for this job was factored into our annual production guidance of 75M-85M lbs of copper. Mill tonnage following the shutdown averaged 43,482 tpd, and 41,057 tpd for the months of May and June respectively.
Mining activities continued from the Pit 2, Saddle and Oriole Pit areas. A total of 18.2 million tonnes of material was mined, including 6.3 million tonnes of ore and 11.9 million tonnes of waste, resulting in a strip ratio of 1.89 to 1. High equipment mechanical availability was maintained during the quarter which helps contribute to the above average mining rates achieved during the quarter.
Mr. Jim ORourke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Copper Mountain Mining, said The team at site did an excellent job in minimizing downtime during this maintenance job and we look forward to a stronger second half of 2017 as originally forecasted.
