New 10-Year Mine Plan For The Thompson Creek Mine

摘要

Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc., one of the world's largest publicly traded, pure molybdenum producers, announced new estimates for mineral resources and reserves and molybdenum production at its open-pit Thompson Creek Mine in Idaho. "The new reserves estimate represents the first of a two-part reserves re-evaluation of Thompson Creek.Mine's potential and will be followed up with additional drilling that is expected to lead to a second, revision of the reserves estimate in 2008," said Kevin Loughrey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This first part of the reserves work essentially evaluates the existing pit and previous drilling results on the basis of a molybdenum price- of 10 US dollars per pound and updated costs, compared to the previous evaluation at a 5 US dollars per pound price," Loughrey stated.
