Round Oak gave the news to suppliers in a recent email saying the mine has now gone into care and maintenance with a small team to finish the mine's last haulage.
The copper operation 60km north-west of Mount Isa had been abandoned but reopened in 2019 with ore from the project processed at Glencore's Mount Isa copper operations and about 50 roles at the mine.
It was previously a joint venture between Syndicated Metals and Copper Chem before Syndicated Metals sold out in 2017 and CopperChem later changed their name to Round Oak.
Round Oak are still mining at Mt Colin and Wallace South near Cloncurry in the region.
