    RSC – Roches Siliceuses Cellulaires RSC is generally a fine to coarse grained, massive, variably silicified dolomite, with a consistent thickness of 20 m. This formation has been leached of carbonate near surface and has a cavernous and cellular cherty appearance. It is normally highly resistant to

    SD – Shales Dolomitiques SD is a finely laminated dolomitic shale with subordinate dolomite and sparse discontinuous graphitic shale bands. The unit attains a maximum thickness of 100 m. The basal 10 m known as SDB, consists of pale to dark bluish grey sericitic and dolomitic shale which hosts coppe

  11. Slide 11: Mineralization

    9.0 Mineralization The main economic minerals present at Tenke and Fungurume are malachite, chrysocolla, bornate, and hetrogenite with minor amounts of pseudomalachite, libethenite, bornite, chalcopyrite, carrollite, plancheite, diginite, covellite and manganese wad. Trace amounts of native copper,

  12. Slide 12: Copper-cobalt mineral associations

    The primary copper-cobalt mineral associations are homogeneous in both mineralized zones and any variations are due to the effect of oxidation and supergene enrichment. Consequently the mineral assemblages can be grouped into three main categories dependent upon the degree of alteration – oxide, mix

  18. Slide 18: Delineating limits of mineralized zones

    For delineating limits of mineralized zones when interpreting from assays, a 1% equivalent copper cut-off was used. To determine equivalence between copper and cobalt, a factor of ten was used, i.e. 0.1% cobalt was accepted as being equivalent to 1% copper. A total of 41 sections were interpreted ac
