New integrated plan reveals Kamoa-Kakula’s true long-life nature – Friedland copper DRC Africa mining KamoaKakula IvanhoeMines_
The newly published integrated development plan of the Kamoa-Kakula operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo has revealed the “true, long-life nature” of the complex that will produce high-grade copper metal for the better part of this century.
As part of the Phase 3 expansion, a direct-to-blister flash smelter is under construction to produce about 500 000 t of 99+% pure copper metal, and the replacement of Turbine #5 at the Inga II hydroelectric power station is well under way. The turbine replacement will supply an additional 178 MW of clean hydroelectric power to the national grid and provide power for Phase 3.
Ivanhoe reported that it had already spent $225-million on work related to the Phase 3 expansion and that a further $3.04-billion would be needed for the expansion. Of that, $2.53-billion will be spent over the next two years up to the commissioning of the Phase 3 concentrator.
