Sustut

Sustut hosts stratiform copper-silver mineralization which was first documented in 1948 and extensively drilled by Falconbridge in 1972. The deposit features high-grade chalcocite dominant lenses up to 45 metres thick with consistent silver credits.

Imperial has controlled the project since 1997 and recently expanded the land position to 8,460 hectares. Ore sorting test work in 2021 demonstrated excellent rejection of low-grade material, indicating potential for direct shipment of sorted ore.
