Zambia's Luanshya Copper Mine to Resume Production After Two-Decade Hiatus
The Luanshya copper mine in Zambia, primarily owned by China Nonferrous Mining Corporation (CNMC), is set to restart operations in August after being idle for over 20 years. The mine, which CNMC acquired in 2009, required extensive dewatering due to previous flooding. The Zambian government has announced that the mine will initially resume production at its upper levels, with plans to expand operations to the lower levels by 2029. The redevelopment of the mine, including new shaft systems and a concentrator plant, represents a significant investment aimed at boosting Zambia's copper output.
