CUDECO – ROCKLANDS

The Cudeco Rocklands copper, magnetite and cobalt project has had a long history of challenging conditions by its former owners. With a market leading process plant and high grade deposit the project was challenged by native copper blocks, process plant commissioning and performance as well as water availability restrictions.

OzM commenced a joint venture with Cudeco to operate the mines front end from Drill, Blast, Load and Haul and Crush whilst managing the tails infrastructure and various process plant upgrades. The project is valued at greater than $420m with a total of $1.0mBcm of Waste and Ore material moved each month. Since the commencement in August 2017 the project has addressed a number of challenges and entering a period of steady state delivering better than forecast profitability.
