The Shaba Open-pit mine, a Concession of ANVIL MINING CONGO at KAPULO is processing the copper ore by Heavy Medium Density (HMS) plant which is producing 70 tones of copper concentrate at 21 to 56% of Copper. To attend the daily feed target of 1800 tones , regarding the mineral composition of ore body, the oxidation of materials, the copper grade and bismuth contain, the good selectivity have to be applied by separating the stockpiles and feeding by campaigns of kind of material oxidation applying blending.
The exploitation of the Shaba Open-pit mine, a Concession of ANVIL MINING CONGO at KAPULO will have to pass to its second phase of exploitation with 2 excavators Hitachi 870 plus one CAT 336 DL and 11 articulated trucks AD40F. The cost of exploitation of the first phase rising with 7.31 dollars per cubic meter with 2 excavators and 5 trucks in the form of the contract per hour of walk, our study showed that with the addition of the fleet, the production cost becomes 4.31 dollars per meter and the production increases by 2.38 times, thus offering an advantage to the form of the contract per hour than the contract by bench cubic meter.
