Abstract |
The study evaluates the potential supply of primary copper from known domestic resources; estimates of the quantity and quality of the resources and the associated byproduct content are listed. It includes a tonnage-price relationship indicating the quantity of copper and contained byproducts of gold, silver, and molybdenum which could be economically produced from known deposits at various copper prices and rates of return on the required capital investment. Estimated costs of production are based on detailed capital and operating costs for exploration, development, mining, concentrating, transporting, smelting, and refining the copper. |
