Project Description
A feasibility study at the Lumwana copper mine has confirmed the potential viability of an on-site uranium treatment in a dedicated uranium plant designed to treat 900 000 t/y of ore, producing an estimated two-million pounds a year of yellowcake and 12 800 t/y of copper concentrate.
