About 29Metals and Capricorn Copper

Capricorn Copper is a high-grade underground mine with a strong history of copper and silver production. Its substantial ore reserves and further exploration potential support a mine life of more than 10 years.

Following an extreme weather event, operations were suspended in 2024, but significant investment is underway to support recovery and expansion. The Queensland Government has declared the Capricorn Copper Recovery and Extension Project a prescribed and critical infrastructure project, and a restart feasibility study is now underway. Together, these developments represent significant progress towards a potential return to production.
