Investor Presentaiton
The Mining Sector
Zambia is Africa's largest producer of Copper and Cobalt. Although
copper production was affected by low copper prices in the late 1990s,
Copper production has been increased since 2000. It increased to
572,793 tones in 2007 from a low of 256,884 tones in 2000,
representing an increase of over 100%. The rise in copper production
over the years is attributed to investment in rehabilitation of
infrastructure and technological innovations in existing mines, the
coming on board of new mines, the increase in existing mines and
increase in small-scale copper mining activities. The Zambia
Development Agency Act provides incentives for companies investing
substantial amounts in the mining sector in the country.
