Managing Director Barry Cahill commented: “We were very pleased to announce the results of the Nifty Copper Project Restart Study during the quarter. The fundamentals of the project are robust and outline the first phase of a long-life operation. Additionally the study does not include the addition of a further update to the Mineral Resource Estimate and the conversion of inferred resources during the pit mining.

Excellent drilling assay results continued during the quarter for the highly successful Nifty West drilling programme. There is a substantial zone of mineralisation, which provides additional copper tonnes in the future large-scale open pit development. Furthermore, this area remains open to the west and south.

Maroochydore is another exciting project, and the first round of RC drilling results reinforces the quality of this large copper-cobalt deposit. In addition, this drilling has increased the oxide-supergene resource potential further to the east.

We are currently focused on finalising the financing of the Restart of the Nifty Copper Project to establish Cyprium as copper producer in the shortest time frame possible.”
