Euronext Sanctioning of ZCCM-IH

ZCCM-IH would like to clarify to the members of the public that the sanctioning of the Company as a result of the non-publication of the 2021 financial statements by or before 30 June 2022 is neither a suspension nor a delisting. Euronext (Paris) has transferred ZCCM-IH’s listed shares to the Penalty bench/non-compliant issuers for breach of the requirements related to publication of financial statements.

Regarding the delay in the finalisation of the audited 2021 financial statements, this is as a result of the delay in the completion of the fair valuation of assets and liabilities related to the acquisitions of 90% shares of Mopani as of 31 March 2021. The fair valuation is a requirement as per International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for incorporation in the 2021 financial statements.

Mining sector is largest contributor to our revenue at 41.8% this year- ZRA

THE Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) says contrary to public perceptions that the mining sector is not contributing to the country’s revenue, the sector was the largest contributor between January and August 2022 at 41.8 percent. And Bank of Zambia governor Dr Denny Kalyalya says the central bank is willing to ramp up its gold reserves, but what is lacking is the supply chain of the commodity. Meanwhile, Secretary to the Treasury Felix Nkulukusa says the 2023 budget has reset the economy. Finance and National Planning Minister Dr Situmbeko Musokotwane has insisted that Zambia will sign the MoU with its official creditors within the first quarter of 2023. Speaking during the 2023 budget symposium, Monday, ZRA Commissioner General Dingani Banda revealed…

Clean Water Comes Close To Home For Kamwesha Gold Panners And Households In Rufunsa

ZCCM-IH has handed over a solar-powered water borehole to the Kamwesha Community of Rufunsa District. The water borehole which is equipped with a solar powered pump and a 10, 000 litre tank will be used by the artisanal gold panners and surrounding households in the area. This is part of an initiative between ZCCM-IH and Zambia Gold Company Ltd aimed at ensuring artisanal gold panners have consistent water supply for gold processing purposes during the off-rainy season when streams dry out.  There are 4 gold panning cooperatives in the area with a total of 100 members.

The water borehole is also being utilised by over 23 nearby house holds, who have since started planting vegetable gardens near the borehole that is equipped with 3 water taps at different collection points. The households used to travel 5-10 km to draw water from a stream in the hills of the mountainous Kamwesha area.   

The commissioned water borehole system has in no doubt changed the lives of the local community and will go a long way in improving the activities and production of the artisanal gold miners in the area.

The water borehole is one of the three boreholes drilled in Rufunsa District, as part of our ‘Clean water for Zambia’ CSR project which started in 2017 and aimed at providing access to safe and clean water to the far-flung areas.  The project has since reached various communities around the country including Sinda, Petauke, Dudumwezi, Chilanga, Lufwanyama, Ndola, Masaiti, Mungwi, Mpika, Nyimba, Vubwi, Chongwe and Kaoma districts.

ZCCM-IH Hands Over Water Borehole To Lukwipa Community In Rufunsa

ZCCM Investment Holdings (ZCCM-IH) has donated a solar powered water borehole and a 10, 000 litre water tank to the Lukwipa Community in Rufunsa District. The donation has been made as a part of the ZCCM-IH “Clean Water for Zambia” initiative born from the United Nations Sixth Sustainable Development Goal to provide clean water and sanitation to all by 2030.

Handing over the borehole to the Lukwipa Community, ZCCM-IH Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Chilandu Sakala, said the installation of the solar powered borehole in Lukwipa is a demonstration of ZCCM-IH’s social corporate responsibility of value creation in the communities that the company invests in.

“As a company, we deliberately balance the support we give through our corporate social responsibility activities to communities where value creation of the company’s investments exists, and other areas not necessarily directly connected to where a ZCCM-IH asset or investment is located. We strongly believe that areas that we do not have direct business interests should also be included in our CSR activities so that all Zambians can benefit from the company’s operations.” ZCCM-IH in collaboration with its subsidiary, Zambia Gold Company Limited (ZGC) are currently carrying out exploration works in Rufunsa District and are committed to ensure that benefits of their presence in Rufunsa are delivered to the community.

Her Royal Highness Chieftainess Mpanshya, and Rufunsa District Commissioner, Mr. Richard Mabena graced the event held in Mika village.

Chieftainess Mpanshya expressed happiness that ZCCM-IH had installed and officially handed over the borehole. “When touring my chiefdom, I noticed that there was a great challenge of water in the community, and this borehole will ease the hardships that were faced before its installation” said Chieftainess Mpanshya who further urged the community to look after the borehole and protect it from vandalism or theft of the solar panels in particular. 

Also speaking at the handover event, Rufunsa District Commissioner, Mr.  Richard Mabena urged any would be investors and those operating in the area to invest in the community as part of their corporate social responsibility obligation. Mr. Mabena said such investments would help improve the living standard of the local community. He noted that there was a lot of charcoal burning and deforestation in the area, which would now be averted by the availability of water in the area for farming and other activities.

The water borehole was officially handed over and commissioned by ZCCM-IH Board member Bishop John Mambo in the company of Mrs Chilandu Sakala and Zambia Gold Company members of staff. ZCCM-IH has sunk three solar powered boreholes in the Rufunsa area that are equipped each with a ten thousand litre tank and tank stand, all valued at a combined cost of 862,000.00 Zambian Kwacha.

Konkola: Key to hitting 3 million tonnes copper target

The new dawn government of President Hakainde Hichilema has set its vision clearly when it comes to copper mining – it wants to ramp up production to three million tonnes per annum in the next decade.

With current production standing around 800,000 metric tonnes (mt) per annum, it is quite an ambitious plan – too ambitious, some in the industry have argued.
But there is good motivation for such efforts – an expected huge demand for copper driven by the nascent electric car industry, and the price for the red metal, which peaked above US$10,000 per tonne about two years ago.

Copper prices reached an all-time high of US$10,512 per metric tonne on May 9, 2021, but have receded to about US$8,000 in the recent past, which is still a good price for copper producing countries such as Zambia.

Some mining companies in the country are already responding accordingly to the prospect of high demand, making new investments to increase production. But one major player, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM), cannot rush to the table yet, held back by
