THINKING BIGGER: Khoemacau plans to expand its output this year

The country’s largest copper mine, Khoemacau saw output rise in the final quarter of 2025, offsetting operational disruptions caused by contractor changes in the third quarter of the same year.

A new filing stated that production at the project located in the Kalahari Copper Belt went up by 21% in Q4 when compared to Q3, rising to nearly 11,000 tonnes.

The improved October-December quarter performance comes as the mine positions itself for a further production lift in 2026, according to targets set by parent company MMG.
