The mining rights to the Alumbrera mine are limited to a 2,000 metre by 3,000 metre rectangle (600 hectares in size) approximately centered on the open pit mine. This area, referred to as the contract area, is slightly larger than the ultimate pit rim dimensions. No exploration is conducted outside of the contract area at this time.
Because of the very limited area of mineral rights involved and the dominance of the area by the open pit mine, further exploration work will be limited. It is possible that additional high grade mineralization could be delineated down-dip of the confines of current drilling.
