Review of Operations
During the year to 30 June 2015 CuDeco Limited ('Cudeco') continued its mine development activities on its 100% owned Rocklands Group Copper Project based in Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia ('Rocklands Project'). During the year the Company increased its investment in the development of the mine by $38 million and in the plant and equipment associated with the project by $103 million. At 30 June 2015 the Group completed an impairment assessment of the Rocklands project and recorded an impairment loss of $109 million in relation to mine development and property plant and equipment. Furthermore the Group recorded an impairment loss of $2.9 million in December 2014 in relation to its logistical assets.
Within the next year it is anticipated that the construction of the process plant and the required infrastructure will be completed, the plant will be commissioned and it should enter into the production phase. At this time the only major component still to be completed is the electrical cable installation.
The key highlights for the year include: -
-
Mine Development
The development of the mine continued throughout the year and during the year the Group removed 4.9 million tonnes of overburden. At the end of the financial year the company had stockpiled 2.2 million tonnes of ore which allows for the optimization of the blending of the ore once production commences.
During the financial year: -
-
Most areas of the process plant have reached the final stage of installation and construction. The installation of 20 E-houses (power switching and process control systems) was completed and the installation of the electrical cabling commenced during the year;
-
The crushing circuit was completed and commissioned; and
-
Most of the required infrastructure assets on the minesite were completed. The tailings storage facility was the most significant item constructed.
-
Exploration
During the period only a limited exploration programme was undertaken as the main focus of CuDeco was on mine development and the plant construction. The work undertaken related to a desk-top analysis of geophysical and geochemical surveys, field sampling and mapping and target generation was ongoing.
