Indications following these results note that Mpama South and Mpama North are zones of high-grade mineralisation offset and displaced by a fault, and that the areas now have the potential for… Read More Here

Copper price rises on strong export growth in China

admin
The copper price rose on Monday as worries about demand in top consumer China were offset by strong export growth data from the country. Copper for delivery in December was up 1.6% on the Comex market in New York, touching $4.41 per pound ($9,702 per tonne) on Monday afternoon.

Gemfields finds largest emerald ever at Zambia mine

admin
Africa-focused Gemfields  has found the largest emerald ever mined at its Kagem mine in Zambia — a 7,525-carat (1,505g) gemstone named Chipembele, which means “rhino” in the local dialect of Bemba. While no official record exists, it is extremely unusual to encounter a gemstone weighing more than 1,000 carats and only a couple of dozen unique enough to deserve their own name. The last time a comparable emerald was found was in 2018, when Gemfields unearthed the 5,655-carat Inkalamu, meaning “lion”.  Prior to that, the company had dug up a 6,225-carat emerald in 2010, which… Read More Here

RANKED: Top 10 mines with world’s most valuable ore

In mining, grade is king. Across the commodity spectrum, some of the most anticipated results — which can determine the scope of a mining project — are assay values from drill testing. As one of mining’s most influential figures, Robert Friedland, sums it up: “Mining 101. High grade is good. Low grade is bad.” “The higher the grade, the smaller the environmental footprint, Friedland has said. “The higher the grade, the smaller the plant; the less the electrical consumption, the smaller the labour force, the smaller the tailings pond, the less the global warming gas per unit… Read More Here
