Sedgman Metals Engineering provided the engineering, procurement (EP) and logistics services for the crushing and HMS plant, Stage 1 of the development of the Kinsevere Copper Project in the DRC. The plant consists of a three-stage crushing and scrubbing circuit followed by an HMS plant to produce a medium grade copper concentrate suitable for direct smelting to black copper. The plant is designed to process 500 kt/a of ore.

Following the successful commissioning and ramp up to above design capacity of the crushing and HMS circuits, Sedgman provided engineering and procurement (EP) services to evaluate, design and procure a spirals plant for the recovery of copper from the slimes, which are untreatable in a HMS circuit. The design is complete and commissioning is expected in the 3rd quarter of 2008.
