Snapshot	The Musonoi Project is an advanced brownfield copper–cobalt development and one of the highest-grade cobalt deposits globally. As of 2024, Musonoi remained in the construction phase, progressing on schedule, with major underground works including a main decline ramp, a multi-purpose vertical shaft, and three ventilation shafts. The processing plant has been completed, and the Musonoi power project was commissioned by SNEL in February 2022. Jinchuan Group International Resources also advanced deep-processing plans, with ENFI completing a feasibility study in 2023 and a revised study incorporating the new facilities finalized in mid-2023. In April 2025, Jinchuan Group announced a delay in publishing its FY2024 results due to additional work required at subsidiary Ruashi Mining SAS. The most recent operational data available covers the first half of 2024.

Deposit type

• Sediment-hosted
• Breccia pipe / Stockwork

Summary:

A strike length of 600 m to 700 m has been identified with the deepest drill intersection obtained being 550 m below surface. Mineralisation remains open ended at depth. The mineralisation is typical of that of the Kamoto and KOV Mines with two HG zones.

The mineralised zones consist of talc shales, breccias and siltstones forming part of the meta sedimentary sequence. Copper and cobalt mineralisation is generally in the form of malachite and heterogenite/kolwezite in the oxide portion of the deposit and chalcocite, bornite and carrollite in the deeper sulphide zone. The depth of oxidation is approximately 190 m to 220 m below surface.

The ore body is open ended to depth and no flattening of the dip indicating proximity of the fold closure has been intersected thus far. The solids modelling was extrapolated 50 m east and west of the last drill hole intersection (along strike), and 50 m beyond the last drill hole intersection to depth (down dip).
