COPPER RESOURCES CORPORATION
KEY STAGE IN KINSENDA MINE DEWATERING SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED
LONDON, United Kingdom - 10th November 2006.
Copper Resources Corporation (AIM: CRC.L) ("CRC") announces the successful
dewatering of the Kinsenda mine in Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic
of Congo to the depth of 209 metres. Reaching this level means that CRC has
completed the most difficult portion of the dewatering programme. As the
209-metre level is now accessible, the permanent pumping station planned for
this level is being installed. With the availability of this pump station and
easy access, the next stage of dewatering to 285 metres is substantially easier
and will be completed by February 2007. At 285 meters, the level at which
previous mining stopped, the dewatering programme will be terminated, the
second permanent pump station will be installed, and normal operational pumping
and mine development will commence.
The rest of the Kinsenda Restart Project is proceeding according to plan, with
start of processing operations expected in the third quarter of 2007 as
previously scheduled.
Chris Jordinson, CEO of CRC, stated, "With dewatering successfully reaching the
209 metre level, the main dewatering risk on the Kinsenda mine has been
removed, which is an important milestone for this project."
