🙃 Massive Copper Expansion

Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX)(NYSE: GOLD) plans to invest nearly $2 billion in expanding its Lumwana copper mine in Zambia. The expansion aims to increase Lumwana's annual copper production to approximately 240,000 tonnes.

Barrick Gold intends to extend the mine's life until 2060 as part of a broader effort to revive Zambia's copper industry. Since taking over Lumwana in 2019, Barrick Gold has contributed nearly $3 billion to the Zambian economy through taxes, royalties, salaries, and procurement of goods and services.

Alright, at which point do we rename it to Barrick Copper?

😉 26m of 2.22 g/t Au

CopAur Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CPAU) (OTCQB: COPAF) has released the results of four reverse circulation (RC) drill holes conducted at their Kinsley Mountain Gold Project in Elko County, Nevada.

This intercept is located within 50 meters of the current oxide resource pit shell. Not bad.
