Taseko Mines Updates Progress at Florence Copper
Taseko Mines updates progress at Florence Copper and announce 2025 production results for the Gibraltar Mine. Construction activity at Florence Copper is now complete and the focus has shifted to wellfield operations and commissioning of the SX/EW plant. Wellfield acidification commenced in early November, and in early December mining solutions were circulating in all the new production wells within the commercial wellfield. Injection flowrates in the wellfield have met or exceeded expectations to-date, resulting in faster initial acidification of the wellfield. The grade of copper recovered in solution from the recovery wells has continued to increase, and the average solution grade has now reached the level required for SX/EW plant operations. Commissioning of the SX/EW plant area has been advancing without any significant issues, and plant operations are expected to commence shortly.
