Climate change is causing Kariba to dry up
The world’s largest man-made reservoir, that of the Kariba Dam – which has provided electricity to Zambia and Zimbabwe for over five decades – hasn’t been spared by the droughts.
According to the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA), in recent months the inflows of water from the Zambezi River that feed it have dwindled to a third compared to a year ago.

April 27, 2016 - The remnants of Cyclone Fantala produced flooding in Tanzania that killed eight people. February 15, 2017 - Cyclone Dineo struck central Mozambique, causing flooding that extended into Zimbabwe and Malawi. Dineo killed 271 people and caused over US$200 million in damage. January 14, 2018 - A tropical depression formed over Mozambique. January 17, 2019 - A tropical low formed over Mozambique and later intensified into Tropical Storm Desmond in the Mozambique Channel. March 4, 2019 - A tropical depression moved ashore Mozambique, and later moved into the Mozambique Channel, strengthening into Cyclone Idai. The intense tropical cyclone made landfall near Beira. The cyclone killed 1,000 people. April 25, 2019 - Cyclone Kenneth became the strongest tropical cyclone on record to strike Mozambique, when it moved ashore just north of Pemba. The JTWC estimated landfall winds of 220 km/h (140 mph). Kenneth killed 45 people in Mozambique, less than two months after Idai's deadly trek through the region.[12][13][14]Climate change is causing Kariba to dry up by bogfit

$NEVADA COPPER | Pumpkin Hollow, 2 Mines Loaded with Copper 712 views•Premiered May 26, 2021
BUILDING THE NEXT MID-TIER COPPER PRODUCER
Nevada Copper (TSX:NCU) is a US copper producer and owner of Pumpkin Hollow, which hosts an underground project that is now in production, and an open pit development.
The property is located in Nevada (USA) – rated by The Fraser Institute as the World #1 mining jurisdiction.
The processing facility commenced production in December, 2019, using development ore stockpiled during construction of the underground mine.
The project benefits from a straightforward approach to production, together with a desert climate and local topography that facilitates efficient, eco-friendly mining techniques.
In addition, the local district of Yerington is a former copper- producing region with superb infrastructure and a skilled workforce.
The project’s substantial reserves and resources include copper, gold and silver and there is clear potential for deposit expansion and greenfield exploration.
$Nevada Copper mines first stope at Pumpkin Hollow Posted by Paul Moore on 18th May 2021
There were significant improvements made to the processing plant performance and recoveries during the quarter.
The company achieved a weekly average of 4,700 t/d and a maximum daily milling throughput of 5,000 t/d during March, while batch processing ore.
119,000 t of ore were processed through the concentrator in Q1.
Approximately 3,173 t of concentrate was produced at a 24% average copper grade for Q1 and reaching 26% average copper grade in March.
Recoveries improved from 82% in Q4 2020, to recovery levels above 90% in 2021.
“I am pleased with the progress achieved in Q1 at our underground mine and the dedication of our team,” stated Mike Ciricillo, Chief Executive Officer of Nevada Copper.
“The operation made significant progress through the ramp-up during the first quarter, and we look forward to the interim milestone of production rates of 3,000 tpd expected in June, 2021 and continuing our ramp-up to steady state production.”

The reality is that the future looks pretty bright for Nevada Copper Corp (NEVDF) or Hudbay with large copper properties beside each other =
Likely profitable going forward and holding some excellent properties in stable jurisdictions.
It is a perfect time for Barrick or ? to make a play for Nevada Copper or/and Hudbay. Ex... Barrick has publicly stated that they are looking for a copper play.
Maybe soon to moon :-))

$Nevada Copper Provides Operations Update April 21, 2021 View PDF April 21, 2021 –
$Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX: NCU) (OTC: NEVDF) (“Nevada Copper” or the “Company”) provides a project update for the underground mine at its Pumpkin Hollow project (the “Underground Project”).
The first stope will be mined in the East South Alphabets zone this week.
$The Alphabets zone is expected to carry copper equivalent grade of approximately 2.5%.
Ventilation Expansion
The electrical upgrades have been completed and the fan bulkhead is in the final stages of construction for installation of the remaining underground ventilation fans. Two additional underground ventilation fans, as previously announced, are on schedule for installation in May, which should enable further increases in underground development rates.
The surface ventilation fans remain on schedule for installation in the third quarter of 2021.
Lateral Development Lateral development in March increased 69% from February after the previously announced electrical upgrades were completed.
Lateral development early in the first quarter 2021 was slower than anticipated due to cautious progress through a water bearing dike. Progress continues with penetration through the dike.
$Continuing to Increase Mill Throughput Rates
While we are still batch processing ore through the mill, we achieved a weekly average of 4,700 tons per day (“tpd”) and maximum daily milling throughput of 5,000 tpd during March.
Concentrate grade continues to be achieved that comply with off-take specifications.
Concentrate grade has continued to rise, with an average grade of 26% achieved in March compared to 24% during January and February.
The Company is on schedule to reach steady-state production of approximately 5,000 tpd in the third quarter of 2021.
“We are pleased with the progress achieved in Q1 despite the challenges with lateral development and we look forward to the imminent blasting of our first high grade stopes,” stated Mike Ciricillo, Chief Executive Officer of Nevada Copper.
“As well as advancing our stope development, we look forward to further increases in underground development rates as we move closer to steady- state production in Q3 this year.”

Hey man I needed you to collaborate with me on that (this) 'Cause we could'a been up somewhat nicely already on something which may have only begun. But I guess if ya've only got one thing in mind, then ya' can't see both sides of what swings. Wake up !
