OPPORTUNITIES, PROBLEMS AND SURVIVAL STRATEGIES FROM RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE COPPER CONCENTRATE TREATMENT AND SMELTING PRACTICES AT VEDANTA'S KONKOLA COPPER MINES IN THE ZAMBIAN COPPERBELT
Subsequent to the unbundling of the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) and the privatization of its constituent parts, the Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) represents a third of the original conglomerate. Now run by private hands as a sub group of Vedanta Resources Plc of India, KCM is strategizing on how best to deal with the operational issues of the organisation to resolve some of the difficult, logistical, environmental, mineralogical and metallurgical problems being encountered to turn them into opportunities as the company turns around. This paper reviews the options being put in place to provide appropriate solutions and strategies including the treatment of the highly siliceous low energy copper belt concentrates in its mining operations in Zambia.
