Zambia’s mining sector has achieved a remarkable $12 billion in investments, showcasing the government’s dedication to enhancing the industry, according to Minister of Mines and Minerals Development Hon. Paul Kabuswe in a recent press briefing.
Despite this significant investment, officials express concern over copper production, which has plateaued at 750,000 metric tons. The government aims to boost this figure to 3 million metric tons within the established timeline. The mining sector continues to play a crucial role in the country’s economic transformation.
Consequently, Zambia is hosting its inaugural Mining and Investment Insaka today, themed “Mining Beyond Copper: Celebrating 100 Years of Mining” which will be officially opened by President Hakainde Hichilema.
