Descripción del sitio
Overburden Dump 9
Resource base:
Mimbula & Fitula dumps combined
6Mt at +1% Cu
Like other copper dumps in the region, these dumps have not previously been treated, but were formed by removal and discarding of the supergene oxide cap from the underlying primary sulphide orebody, together with waste rock from KCM’s mining operations. KCM mine records indicate that a total of approximately 6 million tonnes of material has been disposed of in the Mimbula and Fitula dumps, with an average grade exceeding 1% copper (resulting in approximately 60,000 tonnes of contained copper in the dumps).
