Infrastructure Update
AVZ can confirm that CREC9, the China Railway Engineering Company, has commenced work with an
initial investigation of the first 250km of road heading north from the junction with the Lubumbashi –
Kolwezi road. This sector of the road includes several bridges which will be upgraded and strengthened
to accommodate trucks of up to 40 tonnes. Additional work and inspection has been undertaken on
the 200km stretch on Manono side of the road. Remedial work was undertaken in the town and the
plan is to move forward with rehabilitation of the entire road when the wet season abates in April.
Concurrently, AVZ has initiated investigation of the railway access and possible use for exporting
product either through the traditional southern “copper cathode” route of Lubumbashi to South Africa
or indeed north, through Kalemie and to the port town of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Further
assessment will be undertaken in the next quarter with more detailed investigations being completed.
