Western Copper and Gold Corporation (TSX: WRN, NYSE: WRN) is developing the Casino Project. Currently in the permitting phase and progressing toward an updated Feasibility in Q2 2022, Casino has the potential to become the premier Copper-Gold mine in Canada and the possible flagship mine for the Yukon Territory. Casino is both a copper and a gold project. Access road funding has been secured.
The Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) considered the Casino Project being constructed as an open-pit mine, with a concentrator processing nominally 120,000 tonnes per day and a gold heap leach facility processing nominally 25,000 tonnes per day.
