Epiroc and Kamoa Copper Strengthen Partnership

Epiroc continues its successful partnership with Kamoa Copper SA in the Democratic Republic of the Congo winning its largest-ever order for the expansion of the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mining Complex.

The order includes Minetruck MT65 S haulers, the world’s highest payload underground truck in the field, as well as Scooptram ST18 S loaders, Boomer 282 face drilling rigs, and Simba E70 S production drilling rigs. The machines will be used to expand operations at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mining Complex, which is projected to be among the world’s lowest greenhouse gas-emitting copper mines per unit of metal produced.

“The customer’s focus on sustainability and productivity, coupled with the large size of the mine, makes it especially exciting to contribute to its success,” said Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO.

Epiroc will provide service of the machines, as well as on-site technical support and operator training.

“We are proud and happy to be able to continue contributing to Kamoa Copper’s success as it expands its operations,” added Sami Niiranen, President of Epiroc’s Underground division.
