About 43% of the investment will target improvements in water usage and tailings management to ensure safety and efficiency at our operations. Remaining funds will be invested in efforts to bolster optimization and growth.    ​ El Pilar - Sonora: This low-capital intensity copper greenfield project is strategically located in Sonora, Mexico, approximately 45 kilometers from our Buenavista mine. Its copper oxide mineralization contains estimated proven and probable reserves of 317 million tonnes of ore with an average copper grade of 0.249%. We anticipate that El Pilar will operate as a conventional open-pit mine with an annual production capacity of 36,000 tonnes of copper cathodes. This operation will use highly cost efficient and environmentally friendly SX-EW technology. The budget for El Pilar is $310 million. ​ The results from experimental pads in the leaching process have confirmed adequate levels of copper recovery and we are evaluating different options for optimization.
