Copper/gold miner Oz Minerals has announced plans to cut the ramp-up time of its Carrapateena project, from 18-months to 12, following the production of its first saleable product at the South Australian operation in December of last year.
Oz Minerals is targeting throughput rates of 4.25-million tonnes a year by the end of 2020 from Carrapateena, and between 4.7-million and 5-million tonnes from 2023 onwards.
