Hello Chabala
Thank you for your report about mining in Zambia. I know quite few more about geography and activities there as one of my best friend represented Zambia in International Model United Conference.
Nepal is rich in natural resources and we do have some mines for slate and some minerals not not so much. Your report was informative regarding how the mining has been carried out there. It sounds really great about the projects caring about leaching. Hope you write more about it.
I am looking forward for more detailed report from you.
Best wishes from the Land of Himalayas.
Green Cheers :) :) :)
Love from Kushal

Hey there Chabala!
Thank you for informing us about the Mopani Copper Mines. In-situ leaching is the process of leaching host rock with the mineral of interest with an acid solution.
This technique is done in South Africa too, but they bring large chunksof rock to the surface and doach them. So it's quite interesting that this mine does this method of extraction.
Thank you for informing about the Mine. I will look it up for more info.
Yours sincerely
Rosa Domingos
