Sandfire hunts for room to grow :: Mmegi Online

Copper producer, Sandfire Resources, is doubling down on its exploration on the Kalahari Copperbelt, boosting its budget, staff, and activities, in order to extend the seven-year lifespan of its existing operation.

Jamie Carratti, director and asset president of Sandfire’s Motheo operations, told the recent Future of Mining Summit that the Australian company was pulling out all the stops to extend its time on the Kalahari Copperbelt.

“We see huge value in where we are and we're doing airborne gravity surveys, doing structural mapping, doing everything that we can possibly do within our toolbox to try and understand where the next deposit is,” he said. “Ideally, it's right next to our process facility because that makes it far easier, but we are going to explore deeply in this area because we think there is significantly more to give.”
