The Mineral Park Mine is an open-pit copper/molybdenum mine which is expected to produce over 42 million pounds of copper and over 10 million pounds of molybdenum in 2012.
The El Pilar Project recently completed a NI 43-101 technical study which indicates a robust, high return, low risk project producing over 73 million pounds of copper cathode over its 12 year life.
The El Creston deposit is expected to be a large scale, low cost molybdenum/copper project. A feasibility study is being prepared and expected shortly.
