Trigon Metals Inc. has confirmed the successful blasting of the first block at the Kombat Copper Mine in Namibia.

Thursday’s blast at the Asis West shaft’s first level marked the start of operational training for the underground mine at the Kombat project ahead of schedule.

“The first underground blast represents a key step towards unlocking the full potential of the Kombat project and realising its strategic importance in the copper market,” Trigon said in a statement.

“The focus now is on safely mining the higher-grade ore from the upper levels of the Asis West shaft complex and building on the underground ramp-up profile over the next couple of months,” said Trigon Metal vice president of operations, Fanie Müller.

According to Knowledge Katti, local partner of Trigon: “We are confident that this early success sets the stage for a robust operational phase, leading us towards sustained growth and value creation for our shareholders and the community of Kombat.”
