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.

Reason:

  • development project, mine planning
  • ore treatment, copper, cobalt production
  • Feasibility Study
  • Due Diligence

Services:

  • evaluation of all available data of the deposit
  • digitisation of all data
  • construction of a 3D-deposit model
  • assessment and evaluation of the model
  • calculation of the resources according to JORC
  • calculation of the useable and mineable reserves
  • updating of the mine plan
  • updating of the flowsheets for the copper and cobalt ore treatment
  • reviewing ESIA Study
  • updating of the economic and financial assessment (CAPEX, OPEX, IRR)
  • GAP analyses
  • development of a concept for further exploration of the deposit

Advantages:

  • re-assessment of the deposit considering new technologies as a base for further investigations

Additional project data:
