SRK provided Capricorn Copper with independent reviews of the development and reporting of resource estimates under guidelines for best practice and the JORC Code for orebodies at its Capricorn Copper Mine in North Queensland. The mine is one of the largest copper development projects in Australia. The reviews cover several groups of technical criteria as Capricorn Copper reaches milestones in the re-development and operation of the mine. This ongoing review process allows any issues to be highlighted early in the process and improved upon rather than at the end of the resource estimation.
