AFRICA the Company can partially turn its attention toward the end product and marketing-related matters .
“ The final product from the mine is a coppersilver concentrate , the content of which is 40 percent copper and 347 g / t silver ,” Rasmussen explained . “ Our payable product will be 50,000 tonnes per annum of copper , contained in 125,000 tonnes of copper-silver concentrate from the operation .”
Not only is Rasmussen excited about the volume of production , but also the cleanliness of the concentrate which will surpass many competitors in terms of quality , which means that more than one buyer is already at the door , years in advance .
Local responsibilities Running parallel with the ongoing focus on future economic success and continuous improvement has always been the Khomecau Project ’ s commitment to the region in which it operates , a dedication that was earmarked from the beginning simply in naming the subsidiary .
“’ Khoemacau ’ is a combination of five words from the sandman tribes that live on the central Kalahari Game Reserve here , meaning ‘ hills of the people ’, and it was chosen by a local school after we got the local communities involved to help us name our project ,” Rasmussen said . “ Assisting the nearby communities and people is very important when mining companies operate
