Because the Carmacks copper deposit is expected to be mined entirely within an oxide zone, there are no anticipated problems with sulphides and acid rock drainage. It is also convenient to modern infrastructure. The geological target at Carmacks is a bulk mineable, high-grade, copper oxide zone more than 200 metres thick with little waste rock, in metamorphosed granitic rocks (gneiss) of the Yukon Cataclastic Terrane. Proven and probable reserves are estimated at 11.6 million tonnes at 0.97% Cu. Ore minerals include cuprite and tenorite, malachite and azurite.
