In an interview with Mining Weekly on Zoom, Cupric Canyon Capital and Khoemacau Copper Mining CEO Johan Ferreira spoke of a 40 MW to 45 MW solar power plant being under consideration, and also of strategic sustainability models developed for and in conjunction with each of the eight communities that surround the copper and silver mine, located in the Kalahari Copper Belt.
