Preparation for mining
Mining production is inseparable from the depletion of the resource base. This implies the need for systematic replenishment. Maintaining a position as a mining leader forces Companies to take actions aimed at obtaining title to new areas of deposits in order to secure the Company's operations in the long term.
Ore Mining
Ore enrichment
Ore enrichment involves mechanical processing which enables an effective management of the extracted ore. The technology applied by KGHM makes it possible to successfully recover copper and silver as well as other elements from the extracted output.
SX-EW
In SX-EW technology copper ore is affected by diluted sulphuric acid. Then, the obtained liquid undergoes electrolysis, during which the cathode becomes covered with copper.
Waste Management
Systematic investment in modern solutions and environmentally friendly technologies as well as observing strict norms of the European Union made it possible for KGHM to effectively protect the environment.
