The ramp-up of the Kamoa-Kakula copper smelter will continue throughout 2026, with completion expected towards year-end.

The facility, with a steady-state capacity of 500,000 tonnes per annum, would be the largest in Africa once ramped up.

The smelter produced the first anodes in December 2025, approximately five weeks after the start of its heat-up process.
