Taseko Mines Limited reports progress at its Florence Copper project.

The project is advancing on schedule, focusing on earthworks, concrete, and wellfield drilling.

Structural steel, process equipment installation, and other infrastructure are well underway.

Taseko Mines Limited (TSX:TKO) has provided an update on its Florence Copper project, a key initiative in the mining sector. The project is focused on in-situ copper recovery, a method considered environmentally friendly for copper production. Taseko's activities in Florence, Arizona, emphasize the company’s commitment to delivering on schedule while adhering to high safety and environmental standards.

Construction Advancements

Since the start of construction, significant attention has been given to earthworks and wellfield drilling. These activities are crucial for the site’s development, setting the foundation for future operations. The plant area has seen extensive site preparation, while concrete work for infrastructure has progressed considerably. As of the end of September 2024, construction activities such as installation of structural steel and the assembly of tanks have commenced, marking a transition to the next phase of development. Additionally, efforts are being made to ensure powerline installation and water management systems are on track.

Wellfield Drilling and Equipment Installation

A major focus of the Florence project has been wellfield drilling. As of late September, several production wells have been completed, with more to follow during the construction phase. Drilling of compliance wells is also underway, an important component in ensuring that regulatory and environmental requirements are met. Simultaneously, installation of process equipment has begun, which will support the solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) operations vital for copper recovery.

Workforce and Employment Efforts

The Florence project has also been prioritizing the hiring of permanent operating staff. A significant portion of the available positions has been filled, with additional roles expected to be secured as the project advances. The company aims to ensure that the site has a fully operational workforce ahead of the anticipated production phase.
