Works at the Manganese Mine in Serenje District of Central Province have commenced following the end of the heavy rains that had hampered kick-starting operations, posing a challenge in accessing the mine site areas.

ZCCM Public Relations Manager Loisa Kakoma says ZCCM Investments Holdings PLC through its wholly owned subsidiary Kabundi resources limited are on site and have started phase one of the project in the small-scale mining license, with an initial capital injection of k18.6 million.

Mrs Kakoma explains that phase two of the project which is scheduled to start before the onset of this year’s rainy season will be extended to other areas of the ZCCM-IH large scale exploration area in Serenje.

She says ZCCM-IH Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mabvuto Chipata undertook a site visit end of April 2020, were he also inspected works at the Kampumbu Resettlement area earmarked for relocation of 9 households from the Kabundi mine site.
