Copper/ Cobalt deposit Deziwa, Province Lualaba, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Project description:

The copper/ cobalt deposit Deziwa was extensively explored after 2000. Based on these results several consulting companies have developed a deposit model, a mine plan and ore treatment processes. For the further project development and investments HPC was contracted to check the existing studies and to update them. A part of this task was also to verify/ update the mine plan study of the existing old studies including ore treatment and copper/ cobalt winning.

Reason:

  • development project, mine planning
  • Feasibility Study
  • Due Diligence

Services:

  • assessment and updating of the technology for mine planning including recommendations of appropriate equipment for an open cast mining
  • checking of geotechnical calculations
  • re-calculations of the slopes
  • checking and recalculation of the tailings
  • updated infrastructure planning
  • GAP analyses
  • development of a concept for further data acquisition

Advantages:

  • 3D-Model of the mine plan and ore extraction considering all frame work conditions as base for a Bankable Feasibility Study

Additional project data:

  • about 150 million t of copper ore
  • low grade copper – heap leaching
  • high grade copper – tank leaching
  • open cast mining
