Unemployment in the US fell to % – the lowest level in more than two and a half years. Markets soared with the biggest 3day gain since 2009. Things are looking good.
· Bonya Copper. of 230,000 tonnes, grading % Cu, containing 4,600 tonnes Cu (ref Table B and announcement of 26 November 2018). Mick Billing, Executive Chairman of Thor Mining, commented: "These maiden resources are very significant when combined with the mining inventory of the nearby proposed Molyhil development."
The Eagle Mine is a high grade nickel/copper deposit with Probable Ore Reserves estimated in accordance with JORC of million tonnes at % nickel and % copper anticipated to produce on average approximately 17,000 tonnes per annum nickel and 17,000 tonnes per annum copper, with gold, cobalt, platinum and palladium byproducts over the current life of mine of approximately 8 years.
· This includes the direct interest of % in the project and indirect interest through the Group's investment in Gen Mining. As at 31 December 2020, Marathon had million tonnes of 2E PGM declared attributable Mineral Resources at % copper and 2E+Au PGM grade of /t ( million pounds copper and million ounces 2PGM+Au).

· The copper mine with the tenthhighest grade of copper in the world is found in southern Laos, a country in southeast Asia. An openpit mine, the grade of copper found there is about %. It is partly owned by the government of Laos, who owns 10% of the mine, with the rest of the mine being owned by MMG, which has its headquarters in Melbourne, Australia.
2Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex, Mining Engineering Division, Iran (Received: April 20, 2016; Accepted: November17, 2016) Abstract Lane Algorithm is used to determine optimum cut off grade for a mining operation.

· Moreover, mines are expected to last a certain number of years, to pay off their capital costs, and return capital to shareholders. By setting cutoff grade too low, what was ore is now reclassified as waste and tonnage evaporates. Hence the mine life is shortened leaving someone, or everyone out of pocket.
· Braveheart is a mining company primarily focused on two nearterm copper production assets in Canada. Braveheart's main asset is the owned Bull River mine project (>85MM lbs of copper) near Cranbrook, British Columbia which has a mineral resource containing copper, gold and silver. Braveheart's newest acquisition is the owned Thierry ...
· The company uncovered the highgrades at Mt Craig's Wyacca prospect. One of the highgrade assays was five metres at per cent copper from 17 .
As copper prices continue make new 10year highs, investors are turning their attention to the top copper mining companies in order to gain exposure to what could be a further move to the upside.
Ore sorting includes sorting by grade, particle size and mineralogy across many different mineral processes. Bulk ore sorting by grade using the Thermo Scientific CB Omni Fusion delivers rapid online elemental analysis, with either PGNAA (Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis) or PFTNA (Pulsed Fast Thermal Neutron Activation).
· The world's 20 largest copper mines produce nearly 9 million metric tons of the precious metal a year, about 40% of the world's total copper mine capacity. Chile and Peru, alone, account for more than half of the copper mines on this list. The makes the cut, as well, with two mines among the top 20. Copper is expensive to mine and refine.
Key results returned copper grades of >1% Cu over true thicknesses of >10 m and –% Cu over true thicknesses of >10 m. Olympic Dam had its highest annual copper production since BHP acquired the asset in 2005. Production of 205,300 t of copper reflects improved smelter stability and strong underground mine performance.
· Say a copper mine produced 1Mt of metal in 1999 at 90% recovery. The remaining 10% of copper, around 111kt, went to tailings. If the average copper price in 1999 was US1,500/tonne then that 10% represented US million of metal. Fast forward 20 years and at today's price, US5,842/tonne, if that material could be reprocessed and an extra ...
