Operations feature an underground mining complex that feeds 1.8 million tonne per annum through a conventional processing plant. Copper concentrate produced at the operation is railed to the Port of Newcastle for export to customers internationally.<\/p>\n<h3>Development and Exploration<\/h3>\n<p>The Tritton tenement package is highly prospective for base metals deposits, covering about 2,330km2 of the Girilambone Basin.<\/p>\n<p>More than 750,000 tonnes of copper have been discovered on the Tritton tenement package since modern exploration commenced at the site in the 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Recent exploration activities have included a wide ranging geophysical survey, that led to the discovery of the Constellation deposit.<\/p>\n<p>Constellation has potential to become a major new production centre for Tritton and further exploration and technical studies are underway. Aeris is developing new ore sources to extend the mine life at Tritton and improve ore grades. The new Budgerygar and Avoca Tank mines will start production in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerisresources.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tritton.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"545\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerisresources.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tritton.png 994w, https:\/\/www.aerisresources.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tritton-300x263.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aerisresources.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tritton-768x674.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Community<\/h3>\n<p>Tritton is a local, community-focused mining operation in central NSW, with 82% of employees and their families living in the local area.
