SnapshotFrontier Mine comprises an open-cast copper mine and processing facilities to produce copper sulphide concentrate.

In 2021, Eurasian Resources also carried out an additional drilling campaign and slope stability assessment. These will help inform and further optimise another pit expansion (‘Cut 4’), which if approved, has the potential to extend the life of mine by more than 10 years.
