2019-4-3  Kansanshi mine, located in northwestern Zambia, uses conventional open- pit mining to produce primarily copper, with gold as a by-product. The ore is extracted from a deposit with highly complex mineralogical suites that are difficult to process, sometimes leading to poor recoveries.

2020-12-31  At $3.00/lb copper price, the total Mineral Reserve at Kansanshi, including stockpiles, is 956.5 Mt at average grades of 0.61%TCu and 0.09%ASCu. At the current throughput rate the remaining life of mine is 24 years.

2002-1-1  The Kansanshi deposit was recently estimated to contain 267 million tonnes grading 1.28 percent Cu and 0.16 g/t Au, making it one of the largest Zambian copper deposits outside the copper belt. The Kansanshi deposit occurs within the Lufilian arc, a Pan-African fold-and-thrust belt that was active from Late Proterozoic to Late Cambrian.

The success in making Kansanshi work was “exported” to Australia. In 2004 BHP Billiton started construction of a US$2.2 billion nickel mine but quickly closed the plant down in January 2009, after less than a year of operation. The mine was put up for sale later
