10. We are presently producing over 12,500
MT per year of copper whereas world
demand is around 13 million MT. With our
current exploration work, we are sure to
find reserve of more than 1 million MT of
absolute copper which will allow us to put
up a copper plant for 100,000 MT per year
by 2014.
We also believe we will by then have found
reserve of approximately 2 million MT of
absolute copper with our exploration
permits.
