Excelsior Mining ( (TSE:GCU) ) has provided an update.

Gunnison Copper Corp. announced positive results from its initial mineralized material sorting test program at the Gunnison Copper Project in southeast Arizona. The tests demonstrated a significant reduction in acid consumption by approximately 75% while maintaining copper recovery, which could materially improve the project’s economics. This advancement supports Gunnison’s vision of producing cost-effective, sustainable, and 100% Made-in-America copper. The results suggest that about 40% of the mined Martin Formation can be removed as internal waste, potentially doubling the process head grade and significantly reducing operating costs.
