| General |
Mopani Copper Mine is an integrated copper and cobalt producer located in
the Copperbelt of Zambia. Mopani's operations consist of four underground
mines, a concentrator and a cobalt plant in the town of Kitwe and an
underground mine, concentrator, smelter and refinery in the town of
Mufulira. The capacity of the Mufulira Copper Smelter is being expanded in a
phased approach to 870,000 tons of concentrate by the end of 2010. The
current capacity with the new Isa smelt furnace is 650,000 tons of
concentrate. Also, the company has four SXEW plants (Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning), two at Mufulira and two at Nkana. The feed is sourced from both in-situ leaching, vat leaching and heap leaching. The copper cathode production from the SXEW plants is currently 75,000 tons, which is being expanded to 100,000 tons by the end of 2008. |
