Chinova Resources

Chinova is developing an underground copper mine at Kulthor and the adjacent Osborne deposit.

The mining of copper and gold bearing ore at the Kulthor underground mine on a commercial basis began in February 2012 when the Osborne processing plant came into production.

When Chinova Resources acquired the Osborne and Kulthor mines it alsoinherited a copper and gold flotation concentrator plant that was able tohandle up to two million tonnes of production a year, a 22.3 megawattdiesel and gas fired power station along with the gas pipeline, as well as 353 square kilometres of exploration tenements adjacent to its own tenements that offered good prospects for ongoing mill feed at the Osborne mine site.
