Canadian base metals miner Magna Mining has formally approved the plan to restart its fully-permitted Levack copper mine, in the Sudbury Basin, in northeastern Ontario, following the positive results of a preliminary economic assessment (PEA). “The PEA demonstrates the Levack mine’s potential as a low capital cost, high internal rate of return (IRR) project with a clear pathway to a rapid ramp-up to commercial production. The low capital intensity reflects the significant capital previously invested in the mine, as well as the current state of its existing infrastructure. "The mine plan outlined in the study prioritises higher-grade copper and precious metal footwall zones early in the mine life, generating meaningful pre-production revenue and supporting a strong IRR," comments Magna CEO Jason Jessup.
