卡庫拉銅礦第一序列球磨機夜景

本網訊 目前，紫金礦業旗下卡莫阿-卡庫拉一期第一序列380萬噸/年采選工程整體施工已完成90%，將于二季度竣工，7月實現首批銅精礦生產。3月份，項目共采出40萬噸銅礦石、品位5.36%，地表堆場礦石儲備量攀升至256萬噸、品位約4.60%，銅金屬量超過11.7萬噸。

Zijin News, The construction of Kakula’s Phase 1 3.8Mtpa processing plant has completed 90% and is expected to complete by the end of June 2021. Phase 1 processing plant is scheduled to start production in July 2021. The construction of phase 2 3.8Mtpa processing plant has also progressed well. Kamoa-Kakula project has mined 400,000 tonnes of ore grading 5.36% copper in March which brings the total of ores contained by surface stockpiles to 2.56M tonnes with an average grade of 4.6%.

卡莫阿-卡庫拉銅礦擁有資源儲量超過4369萬噸，投產后將成為全球品位最高的大型銅礦，平均入選品位超過6.0%。初始年開采礦石380萬噸，其后于2022年三季度提升產能至760萬噸/年，年產40萬噸銅。

Kamoa-Kakula has more than 43.69 Million tonnes of copper resources. The average feed grade is over 6% which makes it become the highest grade copper mine in the world. The designed processing capacity is 3.8Mtpa in the first year and will increase to 7.6Mtpa in third quarter 2022 with annual production of 400 Thousands tonnes of copper.

項目一期二序列380萬噸/年選廠施工目前進展順利，重點進行的土方和土木工程均超過既定目標，首批長周期設備已經完成生產，并將于6月送達現場；正在談判鋼材、機械、管道和鈑金的安裝合同，預計近期達成協議。

鑒于當前銅價持續向好（目前約9100美元/噸），卡莫阿-卡庫拉銅礦正加快研究新一期擴建，計劃將選廠產能提升至1140萬噸/年，屆時年產銅將達到53萬噸。

Given the current copper price environment, Zijin and Ivanhoe are exploring the acceleration of the Kamoa-Kakula Phase 3 concentrator expansion from 7.6Mtpa to 11.4Mtpa, which would bring annual copper production to 530,000 tonnes.

卡莫阿-卡庫拉銅礦將ESG理念融入建設全過程。項目一期銅精礦銷售協議即將達成。按照世界標準，卡庫拉預計生產品位極高的清潔銅精礦 (銅品位超過55%)，砷含量極低、約為0.01%，將成為世界各地冶煉廠高度期待的綠色原料。

Kamoa-Kakula is nearing completion of agreements with respect to the sale of its copper concentrates during Phase 1 operations. Kakula is expected to produce an extremely high-grade, clean copper concentrate (containing over 55% copper) containing extremely low arsenic levels by world standards – approximately 0.01% that will be highly coveted by smelters around the world.

卡莫阿-卡庫拉銅礦為社區提供淡水供應

礦山還積極開展“可持續民生計劃”，持續做好用工本土化、種植園項目、縫紉就業項目及興建學校等。同時，項目還接入清潔、可再生水電；加拿大Hatch公司對項目2020年溫室氣體強度指標進行了獨立審核，確定項目將會成為全球單位銅溫室氣體排放最低的礦山之一。

Clean and renewable hydropower will be used for the project. A 2020 independent audit of Kamoa-Kakula's greenhouse gas intensity metrics performed by Hatch Ltd. of Mississauga, Canada, confirmed that the project will be among the world's lowest greenhouse gas emitters per unit of copper produced.
