A new North-West Queensland copper mine has taken a crucial step forward, with AIC Mines successfully reaching the Jericho deposit underground via an access drive from its Eloise operation.

The development of Jericho underpins the company's expansion of the Eloise processing plant to 1.1Mtpa, supporting future production in excess of 20,000t of copper per annum at the site.

AIC Mines (ASX:A1M) managing director Aaron Colleran said reaching Jericho mineralisation ahead of schedule reflected the discipline of the company's operations team and the exploration success achieved at. . .

Minotaur has launched a 21,000m drilling campaign at the Jericho copper discovery within the Eloise joint venture project in North-West Queensland.

Two multi-purpose rigs will be utilised, operating 24/7, with drilling planned to a vertical depth of 300m.

Minotaur said 80-90 holes were planned within the central Jericho zone, a portion of a broader mineral system as defined by drilling in 2018.

The drill program is intended to improve geological confidence in lodecontinuity and grade by closing existing hole spacings and is expected to enable estimation of an inaugural JORC resource for that. . .
