Abu Dhabi’s IRH forms JV with Jubilee Metals for Zambia copper project

Abu Dhabi’s International Resources Holding (IRH) has exercised its right to proceed with the formation of a joint venture (JV) vehicle with diversified metals processor Jubilee Metals Group for the implementation of a copper waste rock project in Zambia, as well as to progress with the upgrade of Jubilee’s Roan copper facility together with the continued expansion of its chrome operations.

The waste rock project scope targets the processing of in excess of 260-million tonnes of copper-containing surface material. The project is aimed at initially implementing four modular processing plants with a combined processing capacity of 2.4-million tonnes a year, capable of producing more than 20 000 t/y of copper in concentrates, starting in the second quarter.

In a project update issued on March 28, Jubilee says the modular processing units are similar in design to those used for the Roan plant upgrade, which seeks to upgrade the surface material to a copper concentrate which can be further refined to metal.

Jubilee Metals Group plc (LON:JLP) is a diversified metal recovery business with a world-class portfolio of projects in South Africa and Zambia. The Company’s expanding multi-project portfolio across South Africa and Zambia provides exposure to a broad commodity basket including Platinum Group Metals, chrome, lead, zinc, vanadium, copper and cobalt.
