TNR Gold - Rob McEwen: "Los Azules Copper Represents The Single Biggest Value Creator Currently In Our Portfolio."



We have another update on giant Los Azules Copper project progress in Argentina from McEwen Mining Q2 Earnings Call. These extracts are from Seeking Alpha transcript:


"Rob McEwen: Our large Los Azules copper project has advanced significantly and we will be releasing in September a new preliminary economic assessment and it will show that we have significantly lowered the CapEx and improved the economics. While we're intensely focused on being a precious metal company, I strongly believe that Los Azules represents the single biggest value creator currently in our portfolio.
CFO: Secondly, at our Los Azules copper project in Argentina, we are in the process of completing the updated PEA and the results should be announced later in the third quarter. With the completion of the seasonal drill campaign, we have seen a drastic reduction in our expenditures there.
President & COOAt the Los Azules project also in Argentina, during the second quarter we dedicated ourselves to complete up work to the field campaign completed during the first quarter of the year which focused on supergene, high grade, enrichment zone definition and improving it's continuity. The results obtained from drilling are now being used to refine our understanding of the deposit. 
Engineering work continued to define our project configuration, mine plants and infrastructure, which will be reflected in the new preliminary economic assessment, on track to be finalized in the third quarter of this year."



Another very good news for the project:

Argentina and Chile to resume a 20-year-old treaty that opens the borders between two countries to mining projects.
