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
