GOGEBIC COUNTY, MI— Canadian mining company Highland Copper says it could begin construction on Gogebic County’s Copperwood Project early next year.
Officials say that would depend on the results of the mine’s updated feasibility study and conditions in the financial and capital markets.
As of March 31, G Mining Services had completed about 90 percent of underlying engineering work on the updated study. The company hopes to complete the updated feasibility study, including a development schedule, next month.
Highland Copper also plans to initiate baseline environmental studies over the coming months at White Pine North in Ontonagon County. It will consider a conversion drilling program this coming winter. Officials plan to start a feasibility study in the first half of 2023.
