Zanaga plans to mine, process and transport 30Mtpa of iron ore concentrate by slurry pipeline. This project is located in the Republic of Congo some 300km northeast of Pointe Noire. From 2009 to 2014, SRK managed the multi-disciplinary project and conducted geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations and analysis to support the multi-staged mining plans with ore blend targets for production quality. Thirty-year life-of-mine plans were produced for the mineral resource of 6,800Mt.
