Marengo Mining Limited is developing the Yandera copper project in Papua New Guinea, one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the Asia-Pacific region. Recent drilling has substantially increased the measured and indicated resource at Yandera Central to 6.5 billion pounds of contained copper. Marengo is working with Chinese partner NFC to finalize an EPC contract for project construction by Q4 2012 and with Chinese banks to finance over 70% of the estimated $1.8 billion capital costs. The project is on track to begin production in 2016 through an open-cut mining operation processing 25 million tonnes per annum to produce copper and molybdenum concentrates.
