AIC Mines Limited (ASX: $A1M) has released an update on the remnant mining strategy at its Eloise Copper Mine in North Queensland. Recent exploration drilling has targeted remnant mineralisation, yielding excellent results that are expected to supplement primary ore production over the next 6 to 18 months.
Even relatively modest tonnages of high-grade, near-surface mineralisation can dramatically improve cashflow at Eloise. Importantly, mineralisation that is located close to development adds optionality to the mining schedule and thereby helps to improve operational reliability. Ongoing exploration drilling around historical mining areas is expected to identify further remnant mining opportunities.
