Project developer Ivanhoe Mines has deployed up to nine drills to undertake a 25 000 m drilling campaign on the Kakula discovery on the Kamoa copper mining licence area, in the Democratic Republic of Congo – a project billed as the largest undeveloped high-grade copper deposit in the world.
The in-fill and exploration drilling programme would test high-grade and flat-lying stratiform copper discovery, ideally situated for low-cost, mechanised mining and representing a significant extension of the Kamoa copper deposit, which Ivanhoe had discovered in 2008.
