Copperbelt Katanga Mining’s Post

We are really grateful to Copperbelt Katanga Mining Magazine for featuring us as their cover story in the upcoming DRC Mining Week edition. At Kuchera, we make mining data easier to understand and use, so mines can move more earth efficiently. Did you know that 4 out of 5 mines struggle to make the most of their data? Our system helps fix that. It takes all the different kinds of data a mine has, like from machines and sensors, and puts it together in one easy-to-understand platform. This helps mining companies make better decisions, work together better, and get more done. Plus, our system can send out important alerts in real-time, so they can act fast if something's wrong. We're excited to show more mines and mining companies how our system can help them at the DRC Mining Week! And guess what? We are OEM agnostic, and we use satellite technology to make things even easier.

Volt Resources Limited (ASX: VRC) is continuing to develop its Bunyu Graphite Project, with the following operational updates: - The Ministry of Minerals, United Republic of Tanzania has sent the Company a draft Shareholders Agreement and Framework Agreement to start negotiations of these agreements. The Company has responded to the letter and is working with the Ministry. - The battery industry continues to work towards building an Inflation Reduction Act compliant graphite supply chain which positively impacts the Bunyu Project. - Based on testing completed previously on a 1 kg sample, a large anode producer has requested a bulk (200-300 kg) graphite concentrate sample made from drilling cores extracted from the Bunyu Project. The Company is defining the next steps. Bunyu is a global scale graphite deposit boasting 461 million ton @ 4.9% TCG for 22.6 million ton of contained graphite.

This is a sign of the times that is not changing and why most projects never get built. There aren't a lot of shortcuts and why project selection is so important. Even when everything is fairly straightforward, permitting takes time and effort, particularly if assets are on government land and have first nations involved. Different than most, our flagship Santa Cruz Graphite Mine in Brazil has all the permits and licenses in hand for Phase 1 operations as well as expansion to Phases 2 & 3. Our next project in the sequence, BamaStar is on private mining claims and private property in areas that are mostly pine forests for paper and pulp industry. Our approach is to permit a small Phase 1 operation at the state level, stay out of sensitive areas and scale over time. Our operations are all modular, phased projects with scalable assets in tier 1 jurisdictions and great existing infrastructure. Low cost operations and a real quick-to-market strategy. #SouthStar #graphite #Brazil #alabama #criticalmetals #criticalminerals #anode #batterymetals #energystorage #ev #electricvehicles #energytransition https://lnkd.in/ecZiihnK

Pilbara Minerals Limited has lifted the lid on more details regarding the expansion of its Pilgangoora lithium operation in Western Australia. The company is in the process of converting #Pilgangoora to a 680,000-tonne-per-annum operation (#P680 project) which involves the installation of a new crushing and ore sorting facility. Pilbara Minerals Limited chief executive officer and managing director Dale Henderson told investors that when completed it will be the world’s largest lithium ore sorter. “It (the ore sorter) stands to materially improve the operating performance from the asset,” Henderson said. “The testwork in pursuit of this technology deployment goes back to 2018 with testing and progression of the project continuing through the last downturn. “The ore sorter’s a well-proven technology, however the application for its use at this scale is leading for our industry.” TOMRA Mining has led the design and installation of the ore sorter, leveraging its 50 years’ experience in developing sensor-based sorting technologies. TOMRA said it has designed and built 90 per cent of the world’s large-scale mining sorting plants with capacity above 300 tonnes per hour. Pilbara Minerals Limited turned to TOMRA to address a key challenge of processing spodumene ore contaminated with barren host rock. The #Pilgangoora ore sorter will utilise high sensor resolution and ejection accuracy to ensure high #Lithium recovery and waste removal. Once the ore sorter is completed, Pilbara Minerals Limited expects commissioning to commence this quarter, with ramp-up scheduled for the September quarter of 2025. In parallel, Pilbara Minerals is advancing its #P1000 project, which will see Pilgangoora become a one-million-tonne-per-annum operation. Dale Henderson said the P1000 project remains on schedule and budget, with bulk earthworks and engineering deliverables completed.
