Tambang Husab

Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas


Tambang Husab, juga dikenal sebagai Uranium Project Husab, adalah tambang uranium di dekat kota Swakopmund di Erongo wilayah barat-tengah Namibia. Tambang ini terletak sekitar 60 kilometer (37 mil) dari Teluk Walvis. Tambang Husab diharapkan menjadi tambang uranium terbesar kedua di dunia setelah tambang uranium Sungai McArthur di utara Saskatchewan, Kanada dan tambang terbuka terbesar di benua Afrika. Konstruksi tambang dimulai pada tahun 2014. Tambang Husab mulai berproduksi menjelang akhir 2016 setelah penyelesaian leaching pencucian pabrik asam sulfat.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Pada 1 Desember 2011, Kementerian Pertambangan dan Energi Namibia memberikan izin kepada Swakop Uranium untuk mengembangkan tambang tersebut. Tambang uranium Husab adalah granit host. Tambang tersebut berpotensi menghasilkan 15 juta pon (6800 ton) uranium oksida per tahun. Tambang Husab mengandung sekitar 280 juta ton bijih uranium. Penambangan diperkirakan akan berlangsung hampir 20 tahun.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
