Ero Copper Mining successfully announces the completion of the Tucum\u00e3 Project with the production of marketable copper concentrate<\/strong> by exceeding the concentrate grade targets established in the process design.<\/p>\n\n

The first production of copper concentrate<\/h2>\n\n

In March 2024, the primary, secondary and tertiary crushers were completed and commissioned, along with the screening and conveying systems<\/strong>.\nIn April, pre-mine stripping was completed and full operations commenced. <\/p>\n\n

In mid-June, the first ore passed through the milling circuits as flotation, and the first batch of copper concentrate was produced. copper concentrate<\/a><\/strong>.\nMoreover, it marked the completion of the first 24-hour shift of continuous mill operations. <\/p>\n\n

Finally, on July 18, the first production of marketable copper concentrate was achieved<\/strong>, exceeding process design grade expectations.\nThe Company expects to achieve commercial production levels, defined as 80% of mill design capacity and 80% of design recovery rates, by the end of the third quarter of 2024. <\/p>\n\n

“The production of our first marketable copper concentrate at the Tucum\u00e3 Project and the successful completion of the first 24-hour shift of continuous milling operations are important milestones as we accelerate toward commercial production. We are moving rapidly toward a turning point for our consolidated copper production and cash flows. With copper prices performing favorably this year, the timing of Tucum\u00e3’s completion and ramp-up could not be more opportune.”<\/p>\nDavid Strang, CEO of Ero Copper.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Strang also indicated that he congratulated the entire team, from senior management to construction and commissioning personnel, as well as the contracting, engineering and supply chain partners, highlighting their excellent work in the construction of Tucum\u00e3.<\/p>\n\n
