Taca Taca

Summary:

Taca Taca, located in Salta, Argentina, is one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the Americas, wholly-owned by First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (“First Quantum”) (TSX: FM). Taca Taca will consist of an open pit mine with a large 60 Mtpa processing plant expected to produce more than 275,000 tonnes of copper per year at its peak along with 106,000 ounces of gold and 2,205 tonnes of molybdenum. Taca Taca is expected to be a long-life asset with an initial 32-year mine life and an exceptionally large resource base providing a pre-tax net present value at an 8% discount rate of $3.4B and a 17.4% internal rate of return.
