“The northwestern part of South Africa, extending into Namibia, is one of the world’s most prospective copper regions. Yet it remains underexplored,” said Orion Minerals MD and CEO Tony Lennox at Junior Indaba in Johannesburg yesterday.
This region includes South Africa’s Northern Cape, where we are moving from explorer to miner at our Prieska Copper Zinc Mine and advancing our Okiep Copper Project.
Speaking about junior mining and turning a resource into a mine, Tony emphasised the need for clarity of purpose, cost discipline, and consistent ex*****on. He also highlighted to the scale of opportunity across Africa, noting that Orion Minerals' selection for the BHP Xplor program reflects this.
We are focused on unlocking this opportunity and delivering value for our people, communities, shareholders and stakeholders.
