The Tenke Fungurume asset is truly world-class and without question the largest new copper development in many years. The deposits are so extensive and widespread within the 1,500 square kilometer concession area that they virtually represent an entire mining district in themselves. Construction of the first phase of operations of the mine is well underway and both shareholders and the local community in the DRC can expect to enjoy the benefits for many years to come. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new shareholders and thank our existing ones for their support as we continue our rapid growth.”
