According to the released Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) of the Haib Copper Project in southern Namibia, the project will require 20 million cubic metres of water, and this can potentially be piped from Namibia’s Neckartal storage dam (a distance of 260km between the two).
The developer of the project, Koryx Copper Inc, released the results of the PEA this week.
Revealing their water requirements per year, they said it would be from a hybrid solution of Orange River water (30km distance) and potentially piped from Namibia’s Neckartal Dam.
Furthermore, the results have revealed that the mine will require 150MW of maximum power demand to be sourced through the nearby Namibian grid, plus supplementary hybrid renewable power and battery energy storage.
