Marula Mining, a London-listed company, has announced an updated development plan for its Kinusi copper mine, located in Tanzania’s Dodoma Region. The strategy aims to establish a large-scale open-pit mining operation, complemented by a two-phase processing plan.
Phase 1 is expected to yield approximately 24,000 tons per year of high-grade copper concentrate, while Phase 2 will produce an initial 10,200 tons per year of copper cathode. The first phase is currently undergoing final test work in South Africa, which is anticipated to conclude by the fourth quarter of this year. Initial mining activities are set to begin around the same time.
Production of high-grade copper concentrate from Phase 1 is slated to commence in the first quarter of 2025, with the company targeting its first export sales by the end of that quarter. This strategic initiative positions Marula Mining as a key player in Tanzania’s copper mining industry, contributing significantly to the global copper supply chain.
