Existing Assets

Hillgrove’s 100% owned Kanmantoo Copper Mine which is located approximately 55km from Adelaide in South Australia, comprises a number of significant mining assets that can be utilised to bring the Company’s exploration projects to production with low capital and low environmental impact including;

• Processing Plant – fully permitted and operational to 3.6Mtpa
• Tailings Storage Facility – fully permitted and operational with additional capacity
• Open Pit – 350m below surface providing relatively low capital, fast access to the Kanmantoo underground lodes, and in the future, a potential tailings / waste storage facility or pumped hydro energy storage facility
• All regulatory and community approvals in place to commence the Kanmantoo Underground
• Ownership of agricultural land and over 2.5GLpa of water supply for agri-business development opportunities

In addition, the Kanmantoo location affords close proximity to the City of Adelaide and the major regional town of Mt Barker and Murray Bridge for the supply of consumables, labour, power, water, and service industries.

Hillgrove has been operating in the local community for 15 years during which time it has demonstrated a history of positive stakeholder engagement. Hillgrove understands the importance of community engagement and seeks to engage with stakeholders at every step of the exploration and mining cycle.
