South32 yaku Australia (ASX, LON, JSE: S32) ilianapeza pafupifupi theka la mgodi waukulu wa mkuwa wa ku Sierra Gordakumpoto kwa Chile, ochuluka omwe ali ndi mgodi waku Poland KGHM (WSE: KGH) kwa $1.55 biliyoni.
Sumitomo Metal Mining and Sumitomo Corp yaku Japan, yomwe ili ndi gawo la 45%, inali ndiadatero chaka chathakuti akuganiza zosiya ntchitoyo pambuyo pa zaka zambiri zotayika.
Sumitomo Metal yati mtengo wamalondawo ukuphatikiza kusamutsa pafupifupi $ 1.2 biliyoni ndi zolipira zolumikizidwa ndi mtengo wamkuwa mpaka $ 350 miliyoni.
"Kupeza katundu wamkuwa wa kukula uku kuti agulitse sikophweka, koma South32 yachita," katswiri wa BMO Metals and Mining David Gagliano analemba Lachinayi.
Mgwirizanowu ukuwonetsa kuti wochita mgodi wa Perth walowa m'dziko lalikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi lopanga mkuwa patsogolo pakufunika kwamphamvu kwachitsulo.
Sierra Gorda ili m'chigawo cha migodi chambiri cha Antofagasta ku Chile, Gagliano adanenanso, ndipo ili ndi mphamvu yopanga matani pafupifupi 150,000 amkuwa ndi matani 7,000 a molybdenum.
"Ndi chuma chautali, chokhala ndi sulfide nkhokwe za 1.5Bt pa 0.4% zamkuwa (zokhala ndi ~ 5.9Mt mkuwa) komanso zomwe zingathe kuwonjezereka m'tsogolomu," adatero katswiriyo.
KGHM yothandizidwa ndi boma Polska Miedz SA, yomwe ili ndi 55% yogwira ntchito ku Sierra Gorda,adadzudzulidwa chifukwa cha ndalama zomwe zaperekedwakupanga mgodi waku Chile ($ 5.2 biliyoni ndikuwerengera).
Sierra Gorda, ameneanayamba kupanga mu 2014, wakhala akulephera kukwaniritsa zomwe akuyembekezera chifukwa cha zitsulo zovuta komanso zovuta kugwiritsa ntchito madzi a m'nyanja pokonza.
Mminer waku Poland, yemwe ndikuyang'ana kugulitsa migodi yakunjandikubwezeretsanso ndalama pantchito zake zapakhomo, wati alibe malingaliro oyika Sierra Gorda pachimake.KGHM, komabeanatsutsa zothekakutenga umwini wonse.
Mgodi wa dzenje lotseguka uli pamtunda wa mamita 1,700 ndipo uli ndi miyala yamtengo wapatali yokwanira kuchirikiza zaka zosachepera 20 za migodi.South32 ikuyembekeza kuti ipanga matani 180,000 a copper concentrate ndi matani 5,000 a molybdenum chaka chino.
Kugula kwa mgodi waku Australia ku Sierra Gorda ndi yachiwiri pazachuma zomwe adachitapo kuyambira pomwe zidalembedwa mu 2015, pambuyo pake.kupangidwa kuchokera ku BHP.
South32 idalipira $ 1.3 biliyoni mu 2018 kwa 83% ya Arizona Mining, yomweanali ndi zinc, lead ndi silver project ku US.
Njira yoyipa
KGHM idatenga ulamuliro wa projekiti yamkuwa ndi molybdenum mu 2012, pambuyo pakekumaliza kugula kwa mpikisano waku Canada Quadra FNX, chomwe chinali chachikulu kwambiri kuposa china chilichonse chomwe kampani yaku Poland idagula.
Wogwira ntchito m'migodiyo adakonza zokulitsa Sierra Gorda m'mbuyomu, koma kuchuluka kwamitengo yazinthu mu 2015-2016 kudakakamiza kampaniyo kuti iwonjezere.ikani polojekiti pa backburner.
Patapita zaka ziwiri, KGHMkuvomerezedwa ndi chilengedweza a$ 2 biliyoni kukulitsa ndi kukwezawa mgodi kuti achulukitse moyo wake wobala ndi zaka 21.
Zosankha zokulitsa kupanga ndikumanga gawo la oxide ndi kuwirikiza kawiri kuchuluka kwa chomera cha sulfide.Kutulutsa kokonzekera ku Sierra Gorda kunali pafupifupi matani 140,000 a ore patsiku, koma katunduyo adangopereka matani 112,000 mchaka chake chabwino kwambiri chogwirira ntchito mpaka pano.
Kukula kwa oxide kungawonjezere matani 40,000 a ore patsiku kwa zaka zisanu ndi zitatu, ndipo kukulitsa kwa sulfide kumawonjezera 116,000, kuyerekeza kwa BMO Metals.
Ngakhale kuti Sierra Gorda ndi gawo laling'ono, chimodzi mwazokopa zake ndi "mbiri yosalala kwambiri," yomwe ikuyembekezeka kukhalabe pafupifupi 0.34% mtsogolomo.Izi, akatswiri a BMO adanena m'mbuyomu, zitha kusuntha mgodi kuchoka pagulu lachinayi kupita pagawo lachiwiri panthawi yake.
Mgwirizanowu ukamalizidwa, Sierra Gorda atha kuwonjezera matani 70,000 mpaka 80,000 amkuwa ku mbiri ya South32.
