Zambia's ZCCM Investments Holdings has agreed a deal with Chinese-owned Wonderful Group Services to build a 600 MW coal-fired power station at an estimated cost of nearly $452-million.

Jubilee's Roan concentrator resumes full capacity after maintenance shutdownThe yearly maintenance shutdown at Jubilee's Roan concentrator operations in Ndola was completed in May, with operations successfully resuming at full capacity and with a run-of-mine throughput target of 30 000 t a month. The company used the scheduled downtime to implement key interventions to counter the sharp rise in global fuel and acid prices, including the expansion of the copper oxide recovery circuit to further improve copper efficiencies by a targeted 5%.
