The Kamoa-Kakula Copper project has been independently ranked as the world’s largest, undeveloped, high-grade copper discovery and comprises a near-surface, relatively flat-lying copper deposit located within the Central African Copperbelt. SRK has assisted Kamoa since 2016 with the geotechnical work required to develop Kakula mine, which will be extracted by the drift and fill mining method. SRK’s involvement with the project includes geotechnical investigations at the scoping and pre-feasibility levels, whereby rock mass characterisation has been undertaken and geotechnical mine design parameters and support requirements provided. SRK is currently carrying out the feasibility geotechnical investigation and design for this project.
