Return of Stable Power Enables Processing of 1.6% Copper Feed at 45,000 t/month Roan Concentrator

Jubilee Metals Group has ramped up high-grade copper production at its Roan concentrator facility in Zambia, marking a recovery from earlier power-related disruptions. The London and Johannesburg-listed company confirmed the restart of steady operations after overcoming national grid instability that affected output in the first half of the 2025 financial year.

Following a period of inconsistent power supply, Jubilee has begun processing new higher-grade copper feed with a copper content exceeding 1.6%. This is nearly double the concentration previously processed at the Roan site, signaling a substantial uplift in output potential for the coming months.

High-Grade Feed to Accelerate Production Recovery

Jubilee expects the improved copper grades to significantly increase recovery rates and monthly production volumes. With a processing capacity of 45,000 tonnes per month, the Roan facility is now well-positioned to recapture the production lost during power outages.

The enhanced feed quality is part of the company’s broader strategy to maximize output from its Zambian copper portfolio, while maintaining operational resilience. The company continues to leverage its proprietary processing expertise to recover metals from waste and tailings efficiently.

This development underscores Zambia’s importance as a regional copper hub and reflects growing investor confidence in Jubilee’s expansion across southern Africa.
