Judeira
Judeira is one of at least five known copper deposits contained in a 12km sequence of mineralised Roan sediments within the Kipoi Project area (PE533). It is approximately 6km northwest of the Kipoi Central deposit.
In November 2013, Tiger announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource of 6.1 million tonnes at 1.2% copper containing 71,000 tonnes of copper for the Judeira deposit. This resource estimate is based on drilling undertaken over only 1,600m of the 2,200m mineralised trend at Judeira, providing scope for this resource to increase.
The Judeira resource will increase the resources available for Tiger to process at our solvent extraction electrowinning (SXEW) plant at Kipoi.
