"Our goal for the next few months is to begin small-scale production while we continue to drill and advance the engineering towards a pre-feasibility study."
CHAIRMAN, PETROLEUM TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (PETAN)
"PETAN advocates that authorities should look more into oil and gas evacuation on land and in swamp environments as the cost of production in these environments is approximately 20% of the production costs offshore."
"In 2024, we signed a groundbreaking Good Neighbor Agreement with the Town of Superior, Pinal County, Gila County, and other Copper Triangle towns, and over a dozen groups with interests in the area. This agreement formalizes our commitment to transparency and two-way dialogue throughout the mine's life."
"Once the smelter reopens, we would produce a more finished product, the anode, which would be sent to the Amarillo refinery in Texas to manufacture wire rods."
"We will increase our total capacity by 50% to reach 1.8 million tons. This is key to meeting the future demand of mining projects that, by the end of this decade, will shift from processing oxide minerals to sulfide, thereby increasing the use of lime in their processes."
"While filter presses are commonly used high-cost equipment, Servingsa has imported dewatering screens that function as a more economical and efficient alternative."
