The mine passed to CRA in 1980 and then to Golden Shamrock Mines in 1992, was closed in 1997/8 following its acquisition by Ashanti Goldfields, and was reopened in 1999 by Glencore. Since 1965 the mine has extracted substantial quantities of zinc, lead, silver and copper, but today it focuses on mining copper, with a silver coproduct. Our underground mine produces over 1.1million tonnes of copper ore and 185,000tonnes of copper concentrate per annum, with the concentrate containing approximately 29% copper metal. The mine currently employs over 300 people. The company holds approximately 820km of tenements in the local Cobar area. #J-18808-Ljbffr
