The costs of the process of obtaining copper concentrate represent 77% of the total cost. One ton of copper concentrate is sold at US $ 6090, from which the following cost structure can be derived . Given that the price of the concentrate is an exogenous variable that cannot be influenced, companies should focus on the cost of production …

The construction of stopes (mining costs) is considered an operational cost. Therefore, the capital costs include only the processing plant costs. The ramp-up of the operation is not considered in this assessment. Therefore, the copper recovery production in the initial years of operation is considered to be completed for each stope.
