FOX Resources says that it is commissioning metallurgical testwork to explore the potential of heap leaching ores from Whundo and Radio Hill.
The company says that it has a significant volume of mined material that it aims to incorporate in a heap leach operation, including stockpiles of oxide copper ore and copper supergene tailings from West Whundo, both grading approximately 1.5-2.0% copper.
The testwork will assist in determining whether a successful cash generating business can be developed with existing ore resources and stockpiled material.
Fox Resources has more than 300,000 tonnes of stockpiled material that will be subject to the study, and which could provide the basis for a five year, heap leaching operation.
