The Kamoa-Kakula Mining Complex, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, produced 33 379 t of filtered copper-in-concentrate in October.

At the end of October, there was an additional 5 786 t of floated, but not yet filtered, copper in inventory. This marks the second month in a row that floated and filtered copper production from the complex has exceeded 400 000 t on an annualised basis.

The Phase 1 and 2 milling and flotation circuits continue to operate in excess of design capacity, says Kamoa-Kakula owner Ivanhoe Mines.

Kamoa-Kakula’s Phase 1 and 2 concentrators milled 713 439 t of ore in October, equivalent to a run rate of 8.6-million tonnes a year.

During the month, the processing team stress-tested the operating rate of the Phase 2 concentrator and, over a 24-hour period, achieved a record of about 14 000 t of ore milled. This is equivalent to a milling rate from both the Phase 1 and 2 concentrators of 9.3-million tonnes a year.
