Consulting on the development of BHP's Spence Growth Option Project - Minera Spence S.A., wholly owned by BHP Billiton is developing the Selection Phase study (SPS) for the Spence Growth Option (SGO) Project (Project) by which it would mine and process the hypogene ore that lies below the current oxide and supergene deposit. The hypogene ore would be processed through a new concentrator constructed close to the existing Spence oxide leaching facility. The mine property is located near the village of Sierra Gorda in the Antofagasta Region of Chile and adjacent to highway 25: a main artery link between the city of Calama and Ruta 5.

The deposit is at a depth of approximately 900-1,000m with the ore dipping gently from the north-east to the south-west. The deposit contains 3,320mt of indicated resource with a 25.7% grade.
