Jefferies upgrades Sandfire to buy, from hold, citing Kalkaroo as a material growth opportunity for Sandfire. It sees potential for a mine producing between 74,000 and 90,000 tons of copper equivalent annually by 2031. Construction costs, including for a plant capable of processing up to 15 million tons of ore, would be between US$1.47 billion and US$1.77 billion.
