The performance of the sector was better in 2017 relative to 2018. The increase in copper production is attributed to:
i. The ramp up in Production at Kalumbila
ii. Improved plant availability and utilization at the Tailings Leach Plant at KCM coupled with higher grades
iii. Commissioning of the Synclinorium Shaft at Mopani in Kitwe has increased volume of ore being hoisted.
