The project hosts three different mineralisation styles, the Zambian-style copper-cobalt mineralisation, the IOCG mineralisation, and the Cattlegrid copper breccia mineralisation.

In March 2023, the company completed the Scope Study, which indicated a total CAPEX of $600m with a pre-tax IRR of 26.5%. However, the commodities prices assumed in the study were way higher than the current spot prices. In particular, Cobalt has half-priced since its peak.
