LUMWANA SUPER PIT PROJECT ON TRACK FOR FIRST PRODUCTION IN 2028 The Lumwana copper mine’s Super Pit expansion project has been accelerated with first production now scheduled for 2028, Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow advised Zambian president Hakainde Hichilema at their meeting yesterday. The project will transform Lumwana into one of the world’s major copper mines, with projected annual production of around 240,000 tonnes per year over a +30-year life1. It is a key component of the Zambian government’s drive to revive the country’s copper industry over the next 10 years. The estimated cost of the project is almost…READ MORE HERE https://lnkd.in/ds4uPwzU

The Lumwana copper mine’s Super Pit expansion project has been accelerated with first production now scheduled for 2028, Barrick’s President and CEO Mark Bristow told Zambian president Hakainde Hichilema at their meeting yesterday.   According to Bristow the project will transform Lumwana into one of the world’s major copper mines, with projected annual production of around 240,000 tonnes per year over a +30-year life.   Lumwana is a key component of the Zambian government’s drive to revive the country’s copper industry over the next 10 years. The estimated cost of the project is almost USD2-billion and construction will start later this year.   Since Barrick refocused its strategy in 2019, Lumwana, the once struggling mine, has been restructured and re-engineered into a significant contributor to Barrick’s expanding copper portfolio.   One of the main reasons for Lumwana’s success is the great management team and the fantastic workers on the ground. In August last year WhyAfrica visited Lumwana as part of our annual WhyAfrica Road Trip and spent a full day with Nicholas Coomson, operations manager at Lumwana, and the fantastic team at one of the top copper mines in Africa. Our day at Lumwana began with a management meeting in the boardroom before we headed out to the pit and processing plant to learn more about effective and efficient copper mining in Africa. The WhyAfrica Road Trip is an incredible way to learn more about not only the 5 or 6 African countries we visit, but also about the great mining, exploration, quarrying, agriculture (including fisheries and forestry), energy, infrastructure, water management, ESG, tourism, environmental management, climate change and conservation projects in Africa. Remember, if you are a WhyAfrica member, you can join us virtually on our Road Trips. You might even be able to sit in with us in meetings like the one we had at Lumwana, and ask your own questions during our interviews, and in that way interact with all stakeholders across Africa. There is a long list of additional benefits for WhyAfrica members.

#ASXNews Industrial Minerals Ltd is pleased to advise that it has received the first batch of results for the reverse circulation (RC) drill program completed in December 2023 at its Pippingarra Quarry Project located 30km south-east of Port Hedland, within the world class Pilbara #lithium province of Western Australia. • First results received for Pippingarra Quarry RC drilling with significant intercepts including 1m @ 1.72% Li2O from 30m, and 2m @ 1.03% Li2O from 37m in INRC002 • Assay results pending for remaining 24 holes, however wide intervals of pegmatite and quartz successfully intersected in drilling, supporting historical data • Several quartz samples sent to potential offtake partners and mineral processing specialists to determine suitability as feedstock for High Purity Quartz crucible and electronics industry applications #IND Managing Director, Jeff Sweet, commented: “We are delighted to have received the first batch of assays from our December RC drilling program at Pippingarra after a delay due to laboratory backlogs. “These results demonstrate high grade lithium outside of the mapped pegmatite, which is very encouraging. Equally, the identification of a clean white quartz zone to the eastern end of Pippingarra provides us with additional potential value for our shareholders. “We eagerly await the remaining assays and the results of the high purity quartz testwork and look forward to providing updates to the market as results are received.” Full announcement: https://bit.ly/3UE8b8g #IndustrialMinerals #ASX

From our ore to your door – Episode 4 - WATER MANAGEMENT Mining at Kunwarara brings its own unique challenges. The magnesite mainly lies inside a shallow aquifer which makes mining impossible without first controlling the water. To do this, we dig a deep drain around the outside of the mining pit. Next, we install pumps in these drains to lower the water level far enough to mine a bench of ore. As each bench is mined, the pit deepens, the drains around the mining area also deepen and pumping reduces the water level. This cycle repeats until the bottom bench of ore is mined. After we pump water from mining areas, it is sent into a network of pipes and waterways. Ultimately, we use this water for material processing or dust suppression. Only a fraction of the water used in material processing is consumed by the process. Most water is recycled through the plant to clean and wash magnesite, then pumped out to the current tailings pit in a slurry, before finally being pumped back to the plant for reuse. QMAG has proven over 30 years that we can champion sustainability by using water from the aquifer in a way that does not adversely impact water quality or level. #magnesia #magnesite #sustainability #queensland #refratechnik #qmag #mining #quality #safety #environment #queenslandmagnesia #australia #centralqueensland #rockhampton #calcination #verticalshaftkiln #pyroprocessing #electrofusion #mineralprocessing #remediation #tailingsmanagement #sales #marketing #technicalsales #maintenance #engineering #quality #hydrometallurgy #drilling #whatreallymatters
