FEATURED MINING COMPANY

KATANGA MINING LIMITED

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF KONGO

The KOV Mine: is the largest high-grade copper resource in the world.

It comprises four ore bodies – Kamoto East, Oliveira, Virgule and FNSR – accessed via two pits, Kamoto East and KOV.

The Kamoto East pit was operational from 1960 to 1985 and the adjacent KOV pit from 1983 onwards, both under the auspices of the DRC’s state-owned mining company Gécamines.

From 1960 to 2000 (when mining activities ceased and the pit flooded), 38 million tons of ore containing 2.2 million tonnes of copper and almost 200,000 tons of cobalt had been mined.

The Musonoie-T17 open-pit Mine: is the initial oxide source for the mine complex. It is a new site, with no significant production history to date. Pre-stripping began in May 2007 and the first blast was fired at the end of September 2007.

Mashamba East open-pit Mine: Operated from 1985-1988, producing a total of 9.8 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 4.96% copper and 0.35% cobalt. By 1998, the pit was allowed to flood due to a lack of funds. Mashamba East will form part of Katanga’s oxide production during later years; a dewatering schedule will be developed accordingly.
