CBU Students Back Govt Move On Mines

Collins CHAMA-THE Copperbelt University Students Union-COBUSU has hailed Government’s decision to acquire the majority stake in Mopani Copper Mines-MCM.
COBUSU President LAWRENCE KASONDE says the decision would NOT have come at a better time than NOW.

Mr. KASONDE was speaking during the launch of the ‘Zambia for Zambians Campaign’. He said Government has again demonstrated patriotism by ensuring that the mine is handed back to Zambians, through ZCCM-IH.

Mr. KASONDE said the newly launched organisation will engage stakeholders such as the Mine Workers Union of Zambia -MUZ, the National Union of Miners and Allied Workers-NUMAW and the Ministry of Mines over the takeover of the mine.  He said the country has a pool of competent human resource that can successfully run and manage the mine profitably.

Mr. KASONDE said there is NO need for the country to engage expatriates in fields where locals are ably qualified.
Government recently acquired ninety percent shares in Mopani Copper Mines-MCM through ZCCM-IH, a move that has been applauded by a cross section of society.

He said the cost of doing business for motorists and travel time for residents has reduced because of the perfect road netowrk spearheaded by President Lungu and his Member of Parliament Mr Nkhuwa.

He said all the wards in the Constituency had endorsed the President Lungu and Mr Nkhuwa because they have seen the hardwork and want to see continuity of development.

And Mr Chileshe said Mr Nkhuwa has worked well in his constituency and derseves another term for the continuity of development.

Mr Chileshe said Chingola Constituency is politically intact as evidenced by the turnout.

Out of the 79 leaders in the Constituency from all the wards, 76 were present.

ZCCM-IH Seeks Listing Advisor

ZCCM-IH has put out an expression of interest (EOI) inviting bids for advisory services to successfully upgrade its Euronext listing.

According to the EOI, ZCCM-IH has a secondary listing on Paris’ Euronext Exchange since 1970 in the Access Tier which it now wishes to upgrade to the Growth Tier as a way of restructuring its listings to enhance shareholder value, increase its visibility and trading activity on its secondary listings, which include the London Stock Exchange.

The company, whose primary listing is on the Lusaka Securities Exchange (LuSE), states that currently, its share activity on all three exchanges has been plagued with illiquidity and a decreasing or stagnant stock price, despite a positive turnaround in the Company’s earnings. Hence, the restructuring.

The key objectives the advisory firm is expected to meet are to advise on the listing upgrade methodology and to actualize the listing upgrade “in a manner consistent with all applicable rules and regulations.”

The EOI states that currently, 6.6% (10,619,577) of ZCCM-IH shares are listed on Euronext and that significant share trading takes place thereon.

ZCCM-IH is owned 17.25% directly by the government of Zambia and 60.28% indirectly through an investment company wholly owned by the government, the Industrial Development Corporation. The remainder 22.47% is held by institutional and individual investors.

ZCCM-IH has lately been pushing an expansionist agenda seemingly in tandem with heightened political and government rhetoric on increased local participation in the economy, particularly in the extractive sector.

The minority shareholders of ZCCM-IH have full confidence in the ZCCM-IH Management and the Mopani teams

The minority shareholders of ZCCM-IH have gradually learned the terms of the takeover of Mopani Copper Mine Plc. The financial scheme for the acquisition seems satisfactory to us
insofar as the repayment of the installments can be modulated from 10 to 17 years depending on the price of copper and the production of the mine.

We read and hear doubts about the ability of ZCCM-IH to manage the mine with reference to the former ZCCM that was asphyxiated and ruined by a copper price that fell to $1500 per tonne
in the 1990s. Today, the situation is different with a different Management, a copper price around $8,000 and a return to the highest according to experts. Furthermore, the calamitous operation and management of the Mopani mine by Carlisa Investments and its parent company Glencore can only improve, given the reserves and grade of the ore.

As investor shareholders of ZCCM-IH, committed to the development and future of our company, free from any controversial or political considerations, we have full confidence in the
Management of ZCCM-IH, which has a proven track record in bringing the Kasenseli gold mine and the Serenje manganese mine into operation. This had not happened for almost twenty
years, the unfortunate Kasolo years are now behind us… The feasibility studies and audits concerning Mopani had to be conducted with the necessary seriousness and professionalism.

After having suffered from so-called partners who have been financially stifling us for years,becoming a MAJORITY mining operator again was an absolute objective and necessity. Our
only regret is that after all these infamous and bitter experiences, a strategic partnership is once again being considered.

The minority shareholders of ZCCM-IH are convinced that this great project, this great challenge,the acquisition of a world class asset like MCM, will lead up to the return of ZCCM-IH as a leading mining operator thanks to the Management and the miners of Mopani, with the supervision of the teams of our CEO Mabvuto Chipata.

The conditions are right for ZCCM-IH to once again become Zambia’s mining flagship and once again be the pride of the country.

Issued by:
Thierry CHARLES
Spokesperson of Minority Shareholders of ZCCM-IH

Zambian court denies Vedanta attempt to halt Konkola Copper Mines split

(The Southern African Times) – A Zambian court on Monday dismissed a motion by miner Vedanta Resources’ seeking to stop a state-appointed provisional liquidator from splitting up its Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) unit and selling the assets. 

The ruling is a blow to the Indian-owned mining company which has said it would fight any attempt by Zambia to sell KCM to third parties.

Vedanta has been locked in a protracted dispute with the Zambian government since May 2019, when the Zambian government, which owns 20% of KCM through state mining investment firm ZCCM-IH, handed control of the mine to a liquidator.

Judge Winnie Sithole-Mwenda discharged a Jan. 18 injunction order which Vedanta had sought to restrain Provisional Liquidator Milingo Lungu from splitting KCM and selling the assets. Lungu has previously said asset disposal is KCM’s last remaining option 

Vedanta Resources declined to comment on the ruling. 

The provisional liquidator said: “As KCM we welcome the ruling.”

Lungu said the order that instated him as provisional liquidator set out powers including the ability to split and sell the company. 

In a restructuring announced in December, Lungu said KCM would be split into two subsidiary companies: KCM SmelterCo Limited and Konkola Mineral Resources Limited, effective Feb. 1. 

While the split was delayed by Vedanta’s injunction order, Lungu on Monday told Reuters he is confident the two entities will begin to operate soon.

Sithole-Mwenda cited procedural reasons in dismissing the order.

“The ex parte Order of Injunction dated 18th January 2021 is, accordingly, discharged forthwith,” she wrote in the ruling. 

The ruling awarded costs to the defendants (the provisional liquidator and KCM) and denied leave to appeal. 

Vedanta and Zambia are still in arbitration proceedings in London over the KCM dispute, which began when the government accused Vedanta of failing to honour licence conditions, including promised investment. 

Vedanta has previously denied that KCM broke the terms of its licence.

Zambia’s Court of Appeal in November ordered a halt to KCM liquidation proceedings, to allow Vedanta and ZCCM-IH to proceed to arbitration. ZCCM-IH is appealing that ruling.

CONSULTANT URGES GOVT TO TAKE UP SHARES IN PRIVATE MINES

A business consultant has advised government to take up shares in mines that are still in private hands.

Mr. Thomas Shikulu said the country has been lagging behind in terms of revenue collection from the mining sector and needs a pragmatic approach in which the mining sector is to be dealt with.

“We have also seen a change in the previous years…mining companies in the Copperbelt would also invest in a number of public goods like construction of roads, schools and hospitals; but with the mining companies of today this has gone down,”

Mr. Shikulu.

He added that this has led to low revenue collection for government which is supposed to use to invest in those particular goods.

The consultant further said government can increase stake in the mining sector which will lead to more decision making and increase their voice on board meetings, as they will encourage the sector to invest more in public goods.

Mr. shikulu explained that the strain on the government resource base will be reduced drastically and in turn fill up more resources for government to invest in other priority areas.

Meanwhile, business consultant Mubamba Sichilongo said the 90 percent sell by Glencore to ZCCM now has 100 percent ownership of Mopani Copper Mines.

“Would this be able to generate more revenue for the country from the mining sector? Perhaps before that, the question we need to ask is do we have sufficient capacity in terms of re-investment in the mines to reap the desired benefits,”

Mr. Sichilongo.

The consultant said a balance needs to be found to what extent foreign investors should be allowed to have their own shares.
