Florence prefeasibility lifts Curis

摘要

Curis Resources (CUV-T) bucked two of the mining sector's most persistent problems - creeping capital costs and rising operating expenses - with a prefeasibility study for its Florence copper project in Arizona that lowers initial costs by 18%, and predicts an operation that produces copper for US79 cents per lb. over its 25-year lifespan. Curis completed a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) of Florence in late 2010, shortly after acquiring the project. For that study, the company relied primarily on historic data. Two years and a whack of work later, Curis has a new economic study based on contemporary costs and estimates - and the project is stronger for it.
