Capex (est.)
USD 298.00M
Overview
High-grade Cu-Zn VMS deposit in Arizona; drilling and economic studies underway.
Processing
The project will use a conventional process flow sheet with jaw crushing, SAG and ball mill grinding, and flotation to produce separate copper, zinc, and lead concentrates. Approximately 50% of the tailings will be used as underground fill. The mine will also feature a double-lined dewatered (dry-stack) tailings storage facility.
Expansion
The Antler Copper Project is advancing through its permitting phase. The Mine Plan of Operations (MPO) submitted to the US Bureau of Land Management is the only federal permit required and is being evaluated under an Environmental Assessment, with a decision expected in early 2026. Arizona State mine permits are anticipated to be issued progressively throughout 2025. The project is on track to be fully permitted by the first quarter of 2026. A Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) was expected to be completed as early as Q4 2025. Construction activities are targeted to begin in the second half of 2025, with concentrate shipping forecast to start by 2027. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate was released in May 2025, reporting a total resource of 14.2 million tonnes at 3.8% copper equivalent.

Overview
The Black Butte Copper Project is an undeveloped, high-grade copper project located in Meagher County, central Montana, USA. Sandfire Resources holds an 87% indirect interest in the project. It is fully permitted and moving towards construction once a final investment decision is made, with a new pre-feasibility study underway.
Production
Expected to produce approximately 35,000 tonnes of contained copper per year for the first four years of operation, with an average of 29,000 tonnes annually over an initial eight-year mine life.
Processing
Run-of-mine ore is transported from underground via haul trucks to a primary crushing area, then crushed by a jaw crusher, ground, and processed through a froth flotation circuit to produce copper concentrate. A conventional 1.2 million tonnes per annum processing plant is planned.
