Kipushi will be the world’s highest-grade major zinc mine, with average grade of 36.4% zinc over the first five years of production. The parties agreed on commercial terms in order to establish a robust framework for the mutually beneficial operation of the mine. In February this year, Ivanhoe and Gécamines signed a new agreement to return Kipushi to commercial production. Ivanhoe’s interest in Kipushi, held through Kipushi Holding (a wholly owned subsidiary), was acquired in November 2011 and includes mining rights for copper, cobalt, zinc, silver, lead, and germanium as well as the underground workings and related infrastructure. State-owned Gécamines gained control of Kipushi in 1967 and operated the mine until 1993, when it was placed on care and maintenance due to a combination of economic and political factors. It then transitioned to become Africa’s richest underground copper, zinc and germanium mine. Built and then operated by Union Minière for 42 years, Kipushi began mining a reported 18% copper deposit from a surface open pit in 1924. Kipushi has a long and storied history as a major producer of copper and zinc. It is located less than 1 km from the Zambian border. Thanks, vtec.The Kipushi copper-zinc-germanium-silver mine in the DRC Copperbelt is adjacent to the town of Kipushi and approximately 30 km southwest of Lubumbashi. Wherever it is, though, it’s a spectacular marvel that not only would’ve spiced up Honda’s line up, it also would’ve changed the world’s view of Honda forever.Ī majority of the information provided in this article was provided by. As to where the Legend Max rests now is but another of its mysteries. Unfortunately, the Legend Max was only an experimental one-off concept, and was never tested to give us information such as 0-60mph/100kmh times, 1/4 mi times, top speed, and the likes, although there’s no mistaking that not only would this have been the most powerful, official road-going Honda ever, it would’ve even gone up against top-tier sports cars with ease. However, with the competition only getting fiercer, we’ll see just how well and for how long Honda stays firm to their words.Īs for other information of the Legend Max, brakes were 5 slit rotors with competition pads and micro mesh brake lines, the interior is black and blue, bucket seats served duty as the front seats, and overall dimensions were a wheelbase of 2,800mm (approx. I mean, they’ve been having great business for some time now getting by with automobile engines no larger than their V6s, with their largest displacing V6 being 3.7 liters. Several theories have been made by outsiders as to why they say this. Why they don’t see the need is beyond me, as I personally would be head over heels to see a Honda sports car sporting a Honda V8, as would many others. Many an online search via Google or similar search engine will lead you to many sources which show representatives stating that, in a nutshell, they have no need to develop said motors. For decades now, many respecting car enthusiasts and Honda fans alike, after witnessing and experiencing the engineering gold that they’ve masterfully crafted into reality from the “lowly” Civic Type R way up to the game-changing NSX, have requested Honda to develop V8 engines for their road cars, of which has yet to be fulfilled.
