Shares of Vast resources initially jumped higher to 0.1980p before falling over 3% lower to 0.1812p after Friday’s close at 0.1880.
Andrew Prelea, Chief Executive Officer of Vast, said commented that “following the completion at the end of 2021 of the current underground development down to the next level, Batia Plai is expected to be one of the lowest cost per ton copper producers globally.
“The low operating costs will ensure Baita Plai remains a viable commercial operation regardless of the potential future commodity market fluctuations.”
