Motheo Copper Project

Africa, Botswana
Lycopodium provided Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services for the delivery of the 3.2 Mtpa copper concentrate treatment plant and associated non-process infrastructure for Sandfire’s Motheo Copper Mine. The project achieved practical completion in May 2023.

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 centred on the development of the T3 Deposit, a significant sediment-hosted copper and silver deposit.

Lycopodium has a long association with the project, having initially undertaken the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the process plant. We have now also completed detailed engineering design for the 5.2 Mtpa Motheo Expansion Project.

The process plant construction, 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.

Let’s put our heads together.
