Kamoa-Kakula complex boosts copper production and expands solar energy

Ivanhoe Mines' Kamoa-Kakula complex has demonstrated strong operational performance, producing 76,401 tonnes of saleable copper in the third quarter of 2026. This represents a 19% increase compared to the previous quarter, driven by improved mining rates and processing efficiencies. In addition to production gains, the site has made strides in sustainability by expanding its solar power capacity. This transition has allowed the complex to cut diesel consumption by 40%, showcasing a successful model for energy transition in the Congolese mining industry.
