An update from R3D Resources Limited ( (AU:TAT) ) is now available.

Tartana Minerals reported progress in the March quarter on upgrading its Far North Queensland copper sulphate pentahydrate operations and expanding exploration. The company is installing a modern chiller system at its solvent extraction–crystallisation plant to replace unreliable legacy equipment, aiming to boost production capacity and operational reliability.

A new stripped organic after-settler design is expected to further increase plant throughput by improving organic recycling efficiency. To secure additional copper feed, Tartana mined and stacked 50,000 tonnes of higher-grade mineralised pit fill, averaging 0.22% leachable copper with some grades above 0.5%, on its heap leach pad, positioning the company for increased output.

The company also acquired a UDR 650 drilling rig, with the first hole to contribute to a copper resource upgrade programme at Tartana. In parallel, it has designed a 21,000-metre drilling campaign across eight prospects, its most extensive programme to date, targeting a range of base and precious metals to underpin future growth and resource expansion.
