Descripción del sitio
Mining
The existing No.1 shaft and No.3 shaft systems at Konkola have been managed as separate mines. Underground haulage connections between the two mines were developed mainly for cross tramming and dewatering purposes. The mine pumps about 280 000 m3 of water per day to the surface. All water is pumped out via No 1 Shaft.
Both shafts are used for servicing and for hoisting ore and waste. The underground ore arising from Konkola is treated in the Konkola concentrator situated close to the No.1 shaft
Concentrator
The ore from the mine is treated at the Konkola concentrator situated close to the No.1 shaft. The No.1 shaft material comes directly into the plant while the 3 shaft materials is trucked to the plant. The concentrator has the capacity to process 2.4 million tonnes per annum (about 6500 tpd)
