In a bid to fortify its presence in Zambia’s thriving copper industry, UK’s Jubilee Metals Group has announced a strategic initiative to escalate copper production to 25,000 tonnes annually. This ambitious move is anticipated to bolster Jubilee’s foothold in the region’s copper market significantly.
At the forefront of these efforts is the completion of a state-of-the-art 50,000-tonne per month front-end modular unit at the Roan Concentrator. Crafted by Jubilee’s Technical Services team based in South Africa, this unit is poised to revolutionize operations at Roan, enabling the processing of over 1,000 tonnes per month of copper contained in concentrates upon deployment in Zambia.
Furthermore, optimisation endeavours at Roan have yielded remarkable results, with the copper sulphide concentrate’s copper content soaring from 20 percent to over 25 percent. This enhancement not only augments revenue potential but also ensures uninterrupted production during the module’s installation phase.
