Cyprium Metals Limited is advancing its Phase 1 Copper Cathode Restart project at the Nifty Copper Complex in Western Australia. The project has seen significant progress across various work packages, including the completion of a new acid storage terminal and the resumption of sulphuric acid deliveries after 20 years. Efforts are ongoing in heap leach preparation, with testing of both surface leach and direct injection methodologies. Meanwhile, solvent extraction and electrowinning facilities are being readied for commissioning, supported by critical electrical and instrumentation work. The company is also developing growth plans to expand cathode production capacity and evaluate additional oxide resources. Further updates on these initiatives are anticipated in the coming quarter.
