He said Yandera, which has a measured resource of 195 million tonnes averaging 0.46% copper equivalent, is targeting an overall resource (measured, indicated and inferred) upgrade to around the billion tonne mark.

The Yandera Project is hosted within a 624-square kilometre tenement package, in Madang Province.
