China Nonferrous Metals Company subsidiary Luanshya Copper Mine – LCM will not proceed to re-open shaft 28 until safety concerns are ticked off, Richard Musukwa Mines Minister in Africa’s second largest copper hostspot said.
Shaft 28 a copper rich site for LCM was closed earlier due to safety concerns which made it a hazard for miners to operate. However CNMC management have opted to pursue an ore body that is adjacent to the restricted shaft to access the deposits.
CNMC senior management will meet with Zambia’s Head of State and the Mines Minister to discuss a tangible investment plan on how mining will proceed at LCM.
