  • Everyone wants copper. Could Briggs help deliver it? 
03 October 2026
WRITTEN BY Shae Russell

Everyone wants copper. Could Briggs help deliver it? 

The red metal is red hot. The bigger question is where copper is coming from.

Frazer Tabeart, managing director of Alma Metals (ASX:ALM), joins Shae Russell at Mines in the Vines 2026 to unpack the work underway at the Briggs Copper Project in Queensland.

Key topics discussed:

  • Briggs: Infill drilling aims to upgrade resources from inferred to indicated
  • Infrastructure: Road, rail, gas, and high-voltage power sit nearby
  • Assays: Results are largely meeting expectations
  • Metallurgy: Copper recovery, grind size, and molybdenum separation are in focus
  • Next: More assays and metallurgical results ahead of planned Prefeasibility Study work

The copper is there.

Alma Metals is working through the ingredients needed to advance Briggs.

Watch the full conversation.
