The 発見 at Kamoa in the southeast of the 広大な mineral-rich country has been 現在のd as one of the biggest finds in 巡査 採掘 in many years, though DR Congo is already Africa's 最高の,を越す 巡査 生産者 and one of the world leaders.

Watum, however, believes 条件s should favour the 開始する,打ち上げる of the Kamoa 地雷, which lies about 25 kilometres (15 miles) west of the major 採掘 town of Kolwezi in the Katanga 巡査 belt.

"Even if 中国 is running out of steam or slowing 負かす/撃墜する today, other countries are still asking for 巡査. So in the two or three years (to come) we can easily 予知する a 赤字 of 巡査 on the market just as we go into 生産/産物," Watum said.

Ivanhoe 地雷s 見積(る)s that the deposit, 設立する in 2007, 含む/封じ込めるs the 同等(の) of at least 45 million tonnes of pure 巡査. The company 目的(とする)s to 抽出する 300,000 tonnes per year once 生産/産物 reaches a 頂点(に達する).

Together with the Congolese 政府 and Zijin, we 目的(とする) to 会合,会う the 期待s of the Congolese people and our stakeholders in Katanga as we proceed to build a world-class, new 巡査 地雷," Robert Friedland, Ivanhoe (n)役員/(a)執行力のある chairman, had said in a 声明 発表するing the 取引,協定.
