The mine was acquired by MMG in 2012 and has been in operation since 2007. A leasehold agreement is in place with Gécamines.
With a mine life of three plus years, the operation produces copper cathode through conventional mining methods.
The copper is extracted from an open pit, with ground conditions allowing most areas to be mined without blasting. Following plant and grinding mill processing, acid-leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning is used to plate the copper.
Through a focus on operational excellence, Kinsevere continues to deliver production capacity of 39,000 to 44,000 tonnes of copper cathode per annum.
More information can be found in Kinsevere’s Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves report and in Quarterly Production Reports.
More than half of Kinsevere’s senior management are Congolese and nearly all the 800 full time positions are filled by local DRC people. Kinsevere also creates over 3,000 jobs for contractors and communities at peak, further boosting local job opportunities.
