I-Hudbay Minerals (TSX: HBM; NYSE: HBM) iye yomba i-copper sulfide yodidi oluphezulu kunye ne-oxide mineralization kwiprojekthi yayo ye-Copper World ekufutshane nomphezulu, i-7 km ukusuka kwiprojekthi ye-Rosemont e-Arizona.Ukugrumba kulo nyaka kuchonge iidiphozithi ezintathu ezintsha, okwenza idiphozithi ezisixhenxe zizonke kugwayimbo lwe-7-km kwiprojekthi.
Iidiphozithi ezintathu ezintsha zibizwa ngokuba yiBolsa, iLimb yaseMzantsi kunye neLimb yaseMntla.
I-Bolsa ibuyise iindlela ezintathu zokuhlangana: iimitha ezingama-80 ze-1% yobhedu, iimitha ezingama-62.5 ze-1.39% yobhedu, kunye ne-123 yeemitha ze-1.5% yobhedu;konke ngokugalelwa kwezimbiwa kuqala phezulu.Inxalenye yezinto ze-oxide inokufaneleka ukubuyiswa kwe-leach.Kukwakho nokubakho ukuqhubeka ukunqumla umsantsa we-1,500 yeemitha phakathi kwe-Bolsa ne-Rosemont.
I-North and South Limbs ibuyisele iindlela ezintathu ezongezelelweyo: iimitha ezingama-32 kwi-0.69% yobhedu, i-23.5 yeemitha kwi-0.88% yobhedu, kunye ne-38 yeemitha ze-1.34% yobhedu.Zombini zenzeka kwindawo okanye kufutshane nomphezulu kwi-skarn kuqhagamshelwano phakathi kwe-porphyry intrusive kunye neeyunithi ze-limestone.
Ukugaya kwi-deposit World Copper kuqinisekisile iziphumo zangaphambili, ukubuyisela i-82 yeemitha ze-0.69% yobhedu (ukuqala phezulu), kuquka i-74.5 yeemitha ze-1% yobhedu;Iimitha ezingama-74.5 ze-0.62% yobhedu, kubandakanywa neemitha ezingama-35 ze-0.94% yobhedu;kunye neemitha ezingama-88.4 ze-0.75% yobhedu, kubandakanywa neemitha ezingama-48.8 kwi-1.15% yobhedu.
Imingxuma emibini iye yagrunjwa kwakhona kwithagethi yeBroad Top Butte, ibuyisela iimitha ezingama-229 kwi-0.6% yobhedu, kubandakanywa i-137 yeemitha kwi-0.72%;kunye ne-192 yeemitha ze-0.48% yobhedu, kubandakanywa neemitha ezingama-67 kwi-0.77% yobhedu.Yomibini imingxuma iye yadibana neminerali kumphezulu.Iioksidi zobhedu kunye neesulfide zifunyenwe kwi-quartz-monzonite porphyry intrusive kunye nakwi-skarns ezingqongileyo kwindawo efanayo yejoloji njengeRosemont.
Iziphumo ziyakhuthaza
“Inkqubo yethu yokomba ka-2021 eCopper World ibonakalise ukuba iidiphozithi ebezifunyenwe ngaphambili bezihleli zivulekile ngogwayimbo, kwaye sikhuthazwa kakhulu kukuchongwa kweediphozithi ezintathu ezintsha kulo mmandla,” utshilo uPeter Kukielski, umongameli kunye neCEO yakwaHudbay."I-Copper World ikhula ibe yiprojekthi enomtsalane yophuhliso lobhedu kumbhobho wethu wezinto eziphilayo, kwaye sihlala sisendleleni yoqikelelo lokuqala lwemithombo yolwazi ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka kunye novavanyo lokuqala lwezoqoqosho kwisiqingatha sokuqala sika-2022."
Inqanaba lophuhliso iprojekthi yaseRosemont ilinganise yabonisa imithombo yobutyebi efikelela kwi-536.2 yezigidi zeetoni zodidi lwe-0.29% yobhedu, 0.011% molybdenum kunye ne-2.65 g/t yesilivere.Umthombo oqikelelweyo yi-62.3 yezigidi zeetoni zodidi lwe-0.3% yobhedu, i-0.01% ye-molybdenum kunye ne-1.58 g/t yesilivere.
