Kamoa\u2019s Phase 3 concentrator expansion completed ahead of schedule in May 2024, with first concentrate reported on June 10, 2024. Phase 3 will boost annualised production to approximately 600,000 tonnes copper. Phased expansion is projected to position Kamoa Copper as one of the largest copper mining complexes globally, and the largest copper mine on the African continent.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.kamoacopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-1_0000_240119-KCSA-004.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Untitled-1_0000_240119-KCSA-004&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_heading_font||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_3_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_heading_font||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#0E2C3F&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex has one of the most favourable environmental footprints of any tier-one copper mine globally. According to Skarn Associates of London, England, Kamoa-Kakula\u2019s operations produce among the lowest carbon emissions per tonne of copper in the world, and the lowest of any major copper mine. On a Scope 1 and 2 basis (reported from ore to mine gate), Kamoa-Kakula\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions intensity in 2022 was 0.16 equivalent tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of contained copper produced (CO2-e \/ t Cu).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is partially due to the high-grade orebodies of Kamoa and Kakula, which are up to ten times higher in grade than the average global copper head grade. It is also a function of the DRC grid being among the world\u2019s cleanest, with 99.5% of grid power generated from hydroelectricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.kamoacopper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-1_0001_2024-03-27-MV-KCSA-010.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Untitled-1_0001_2024-03-27-MV-KCSA-010&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_heading_font||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_3_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_heading_font||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#0E2C3F&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, the high-grade, underground orebodies of Kamoa and Kakula enable a relatively small surface footprint of across the complex, with approximately 55% of the operation\u2019s tailings pumped back into the underground mine as backfill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the initial discovery of the high-grade copper deposit at Kamoa Copper in 2008, and the subsequent finding of the ultra-high-grade deposit at Kakula in 2016, Kamoa Copper has undergone significant expansion.
