VISIT KILEMBE COPPER MINES

Home » Visit Kilembe Copper Mines

Kilembe copper mines sit on the foothills of the ice-capped Rwenzori Mountains
in Kilembe, a suburb of Kasese town in the western region of Uganda. This is
Uganda’s largest copper mine with estimated deposits of copper in excess of 4
million tons and an undetermined amount of cobalt ore. In addition, there are
approximately 2,800 acres (1,100 ha), of unexplored acreage at the site, of
which 1.98% is estimated to be pure copper and 0.17% cobalt.

Kilembe Copper Mines in Kasese



ORIGIN OF KILEMBE COPPER MINES

In the early 1950s, two Canadian mining companies, Frosbisher Limited and
Ventures Limited, formed a joint venture, named Kilembe Mines Limited (KML),
whose objective was to mine copper from under the Rwenzori Mountains near
Kasese. KML built and operated a copper smelter in Jinja and maintained offices
in Kampala. Other assets include a housing estate for staff in Kasese and the
5MW Mubuku I Power Station beneath the Rwenzori Mountains.

During the independence year of 1962, Kilembe Mines Limited was acquired by
Falconbridge of Africa, who sold it to the Government of Uganda in 1975. Copper
extraction ceased in 1982 due to dilapidated equipment, high inflation and
insecurity.

Later in 2013, after nearly 30 years of dormancy and after several failed
attempts to privatize the mine, a consortium led by Tibet-Hima Mining Company
Limited, won the competitive bid to manage, rehabilitate and operate Kilembe
Mines Limited for 25 years from 2013 until 2038. This was when the government
decided to redevelop Kilembe Mines, which redevelopment would include further
mineral exploration to add to the known reserve base.

With the increase in demand for copper worldwide, Uganda is planning to invite
bids to restart its Kilembe copper mines which have been on care and maintenance
for the best part of 40 years. This came after a deal with a Chinese-led group
collapsed more than two years ago.

HOW TO REACH TO KILEMBE COPPER MINES

kilometres by road from Kampala, the country’s capital city. By air, you can fly
from Entebbe airport to Kasese airstrip in about 1 hour and a half. It’s less
than one drive from Kasese airstrip to Kilembe opper mines.
