#JustIn: Tschudi produces copper again
Consolidated Copper Corp (CCC) has successfully restarted the Tschudi copper plant, producing LME Grade A copper cathode in Namibia for the first time in four years.
The restart creates more than 60 Namibian jobs, with 75% of refurbishment capital contracted to local Namibian suppliers, CCC said today.
According to the company, the production marks the initiation of CCC’s strategy to enhance Namibia’s copper industry through the restart of three brownfield mines, backed by sustainable domestic processing.
“Tschudi has the potential to rival the great copper mines of the Central African Copper Belt. Yet, the true measure of our success will lie in the benefits experienced by the local community and our contribution to the clean energy value chain,” said CCC CEO John Sisay.
