Resurgence of Mowana Mine

The mining consultant said Leboam Holdings, the new owners of the Dukwi-based copper mine have heightened activity at the Mowana Mine operation and preparations are advanced so much that operations could even start in a few months. On site mine workers anticipate operations to start in earnest next month. Leboam Holdings late last year acquired Messina Copper assets at a whopping P89.7 million.

“A few people are on site preparing for mining to commence in earnest,” said Dikgaka who was previously a mine manager at the Tati Nickel Mine which now has been placed under liquidation. He emphasised that test runs will be done to test the efficiency and capabilities of the plant ahead of the busy mining days ahead.
