Key Features

• Grade: 2%-6% Cu
• Form: Ore, concentrate
• Impurities: Low arsenic, low lead, low sulfur
• Moisture: Less than 1.5%

Applications

• Copper cathode production
• Electrical wiring & conductors
• Electronics & renewable energy infrastructure
• Alloy manufacturing (bronze, brass)

Geological Context

The copper deposits are hosted within the Katanga Supergroup and the Zambian Copperbelt, among the richest sediment-hosted copper provinces in the world. Mineralization occurs in stratabound horizons and structurally controlled zones within metasedimentary sequences.

Deposit Types:

• Sediment-hosted stratiform copper
• Hydrothermal vein and breccia copper
• Supergene enrichment zones

Host Rocks:

• Shales and sandstones
• Dolomitic marbles and quartzites
• Metasediments of the Katanga Supergroup

Mineralogy

Dominant copper minerals include Chalcopyrite, Bornite, Malachite, Azurite, and Chalcocite, with gangue minerals such as quartz, calcite, and dolomite.

Export Logistics

Our copper ore and concentrate are delivered through road and rail links to ports including Dar es Salaam, Beira, and Durban. We provide both bulk shipments and containerized cargo depending on client needs.
