AI’s biggest bottleneck is energy… and energy’s biggest bottleneck is copper. It takes decades to find, permit, develop, finance and build major copper mines. Kamoa-Kakula was an overnight success after almost 30 years of intense effort. Our geologists first started exploring off the western edge of the DRC Copperbelt in 2003. We discovered Kamoa 5 years later in 2008, and Kakula 7 years after that in 2015. Copper production from Phase 1 started in 2021 and we have since expanded to Phase 3… and we are planning Phase 4. We are building the next major copper mine at Santa Cruz in Arizona, USA and at the Makoko & Kitoko discoveries in the Western Forelands of the DRC Copperbelt… our geologists continue to explore for the next tier-one copper discovery in Zambia, Angola, Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan… watch this space. We need to keep backing the geologists, engineers and mine builders who will find and produce the minerals upon which our intelligence revolution relies.
