Been invested in AVZ for quite a while now over 4-5 years
Its given me a chance to pick up a few photos and documents from different archives held by the French and Belgium newspapers
Basically bought everything Manono mining related for a few years (was part of my research on Manono and its background) - so have a decent archive built up, will post some of the more interesting one's, whilst its' a bit quiet and we are waiting for news.
This photo is a view of Carriere de l’Este from the top of the Tantalex tailings dump from either 1948 or 1952
It shows how Geomines created the tailings dumps, and the carrier belts to the processing plant which is somewhere behind the Dathcom base camp, or what remains as per video from Deboss. The belts ran for quite a few kms.
This is effectively our main pit in its formation. (25 odd years before it was abandoned), back of photo image below confirms this is Carriere de l’Este , and not one of the dozens of other dumps in area.
