Nickel/copper sulphide explorer Amur Minerals believes it has expanded the mining potential of its Kun-Manie mine, in Russia’s Far East, with recent drilling at the Kubuk deposit having added as much as another three years to its production.
Drilling to identify indicated resources has extended the limits of the mineralisation by about 50% from that of the February 2017 resource model, which contains 14.5-million ore tonnes and a total of 112 000 nickel tonnes (at 77%) and 30 000 t of copper (at 0.20%).
