Kipushi mine shaft 5.
The Kipushi Project is based on the high-grade, underground zinc-copper mine in the Central African Copperbelt, which mined approximately 60 million tonnes grading 11% zinc and 7% copper between 1924 and 1993. In addition to producing copper and zinc, the mine produced 12,673 tonnes of lead and approximately 278 tonnes of germanium between 1956 and 1978. The mine had been managed on a care and maintenance basis since 1993.
February 14, 2022: Ivanhoe Mines and GÃĐcamines sign new agreement to return the ultra-high-grade Kipushi Mine in the DRC to production.
