Motheo Copper Project – 3.2 Mtpa Copper Concentrate Treatment Plant

The Motheo Copper Mine is located in Botswana’s Kalahari Copper Belt, one of the world’s most exciting and emerging copper producing regions and is centered on the development of the T3 Deposit, a significant sediment-hosted copper and silver deposit.

The project, being overseen by Tshukudu Metals Botswana (Pty) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandfire Resources, was delivered via Lycopodium subsidiary ADP Kukama, which operates from Botswana, offering locally based services to the country.

Lycopodium project managed and provided engineering and procurement with ADP Kukama providing construction management services for the delivery of the 3.2 Mtpa copper concentrate treatment plant and associated non-process infrastructure for Sandfire’s Motheo Copper Mine (2021 – 2023).

Lycopodium has a long association with the project, having undertaken the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the process plant, followed by the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) to support long-lead procurement and early works site packages and other engineering works to facilitate an accelerated project development schedule.

Lycopodium also completed the detailed engineering design for the 5.2 Mtpa Motheo Expansion Project.
