ZCCM-IH Appointed by Government to Lead Transformation of Zambia’s Gold Sector

ZCCM-IH Appointed by Government to Lead Transformation of Zambia’s Gold Sector

1st August 2025, Lusaka, Zambia: ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or “the Company”) wishes to inform shareholders and the market that the Government of the Republic of Zambia has formally mandated ZCCM-IH to take the lead in formalising, developing, and transforming the gold sector in Zambia.

This appointment marks a historic and strategic milestone in unlocking the full potential of Zambia’s gold mining industry. For decades, the gold sector has remained largely informal, characterised by limited structure, low value retention, and minimal economic benefits for surrounding communities. These informal operations have also contributed to environmental degradation and unsafe mining practices, offering little in terms of national economic returns.

The Government’s decision to entrust ZCCM-IH with this pivotal responsibility reflects a bold and forward-looking commitment to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The initiative draws inspiration from successful models across the African continent where the formalisation of the gold sector has led to increased revenue generation, improved livelihoods, and strengthened governance.

ZCCM-IH is honoured to receive this mandate. As the designated anchor institution, ZCCM-IH will lead the implementation of a comprehensive transformation programme grounded in collaboration, sustainability, and inclusive stakeholder engagement.
