Project Overview

A comprehensive water study has been commissioned to determine short and medium-term expected water inflows into the mine. Given the study recommendations, Lubambe is investing in additional dewatering capacity. A dam has also been built to allow the temporary system to pump at a higher rate. The mine has developed a water balance and has installed equipment to measure the flow of water. The water balance is monitored on a continuous basis. Cover drilling is conducted during…

A comprehensive water study has been commissioned to determine short and medium-term expected water inflows into the mine. Given the study recommendations, Lubambe is investing in additional dewatering capacity. A dam has also been built to allow the temporary system to pump at a higher rate. The mine has developed a water balance and has installed equipment to measure the flow of water. The water balance is monitored on a continuous basis. Cover drilling is conducted during development to identify any potential water aquifers. As more knowledge of the water flows and levels are obtained, information and models are updated to better understand and assist with decisions on how to manage water.
