Marula Mining, a London-listed company, revealed an updated development plan on September 26 for its Kinusi copper mine, located in Tanzania's Dodoma Region. According to the updated strategy, the company aims to establish a large-scale open-pit mining operation accompanied by a two-phase processing plan.

Phase 1 of the project is expected to yield approximately 24,000 tons per year (t/yr) of high-grade copper concentrate, while Phase 2 will produce an initial 10,200 t/yr of copper cathode. The first phase of the project is currently undergoing final test work, which is anticipated to be completed in South Africa by the fourth quarter of this year. Initial mining activities will begin in the same timeframe.

Timeline and Production Targets

The production of high-grade copper concentrate from Phase 1 is slated to commence in the first quarter of 2025, with the company aiming to achieve its first export sales by the end of the same quarter. This strategic plan positions Marula Mining as a significant player in Tanzania’s copper mining industry, contributing to the global copper supply chain.
