The expansion of Kamoa-Kakula concentrator processing facilities occurs in two phases (Phase 3 and Phase 4).
Phase 3 includes the ongoing construction of a new 5.0 Mtpa concentrator, located at Kamoa, planned for completion in Q4’24, will be fed with ore from the existing Kansoko Sud Mine (formerly Kansoko Mine), as well as new mines currently under development in the Kamoa area, known as Kamoa 1 and 2. Phase 3 expansion to 14.2 Mtpa processing capacity.
As part of the Phase 3 expansion, a direct-to-blister (DBF) flash smelter is under construction to produce approximately 500 ktpa of cast copper anode.
Phase 4, planned for completion in 2030, includes the construction of an additional 5.0 Mtpa concentrator in parallel to Phase 3, which will be fed by mines in the Kamoa area, bringing overall production up to 19.2 Mtpa. |
