 | | The IFC has financed feasibility studies for the Kolwezi mining project in Katanga, which will re-process tailings from an old Gecamines mine site to extract copper and cobalt. |
| | According to the IFC, the project is to prepare a definitive feasibility study (DFS), including marketing, technical, and environmental and social impact studies, for the re-treatment of processed oxide tailings from the Kolwezi concentrator, located in Katanga province, which began operations in the early 1950’s. |
| | The project consists of two dams containing 112.8 million tones of oxide tailings, grading 1.49% copper and 0.32% cobalt and is believed to have the potential to host one of the world’s largest and lowest cost cobalt producers. |
