Project Constellation Cost Details
Estimated Capital Costs US$ billion Capital costs were derived from a variety of sources including comparative analysis
of other operations, derivation from first principles, equipment quotes and factoring
Open Pit Mine $0.20
from other costs contained within the PEA study. The accuracy of the estimates
Pre-Stripping $0.14
contained within this study vary due to the different methods of derivation used to
Underground Access Tunnel $0.09 estimate the costs however, in general the capital costs are expected to be within a -
Plant & Processing $0.87 30% to +50% at the 85% confidence level.
Infrastructure $0.55
TOTAL DIRECT COSTS $1.85 The PEA estimates that the C-1 cash costs (net of by-product credits) over the life of
Indirect Costs $0.48 mine will average $1.05/lb Copper. C-1 cash are a non-GAAP measure of costs which
Owners Costs $0.13 include at-mine cash operating costs, treatment and refining charges, royalties,
selling costs, transportation costs, and by-product credits.
Contingency $0.62
