THERE are heartwarming positive signs coming from Mopani Copper Mines (MCM), where copper production is on a significant rise, particularly after change of management.
Evidently, there is something good happening at the mine and Zambia can be proud of its own people ably managing such a key resource.
MCM produced 9,007 tonnes of the finished commodity in June, rising from 8,306 tonnes noted in April this year.
Apart from the increased production, MCM management has also cut down monthly operational costs by almost half – from a staggering US$60 million to US$35 million.
