The proponent of what will probably be North America’s next new copper mine development, Nevada Copper, has signed a pre-works agreement with Cementation USA and secured key long-lead time items, further derisking the restart of construction of the company's fully permitted and shovel-ready Pumpkin Hollow underground project, it announced on Thursday. These activities are expected to allow the company to rapidly advance the restart of construction of its 5 000 t/d underground project, targeting first copper production in 2019.
