Mopani takeover: Just what Zambia needed

GOVERNMENT’S decision to take over operations of Mopani Copper Mines (MCM) demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding 15,000 jobs which could have been lost had the mining firm remained in private hands.
A consortium of civil society organisations (CSOs), in welcoming Government’s 100 percent shareholding in MCM, says mines should contribute more to communities in which they operate.
Last week, Government, through Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines-Investment Holding (ZCCM-IH), took over operations of MCM from the majority shareholder, Glencore of Switzerland.
This has cheered the CSOs, which include Peaceful Elections Zambia (PEZ), Faith Foundation for Persons with Disabilities, Hope for the Elderly Foundation, Luyando Community Society and CLICK TO READ MORE

Union, contractors, expert cheer MCM takeover

AFTER privatisation of the mines which were run by the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) over 20 years ago, Government maintained small percentages in the mining firms.
The percentages are held on behalf of Government through its holding company ZCCM-Investments Holdings (ZCCM-IH).
The State has 20 percent in Kansanshi Mining Plc, Konkola Copper Mines 20.6 percent and China Nonferrous Metal Mining (CNMC) Luanshya Copper Mines Plc 20 percent.
Others are Maamba Collieries 25 percent, Lubambe Copper Mines 20 percent, NFC Africa Mining 15 percent, Chibuluma Mines 15 percent and 10 percent in Chambishi Metals Plc.
Looking at the percentages, it is clear that Government has not had a bigger opinion in matters pertaining to companies and most importantly enjoy the full benefits of proceeds especially now when prices are favorable, hovering around US$8,000 on the international market.
This has over the years made Government through ZCCM-IH reconsider its position on ownership as seen in the increase in stake in both greenfield and brownfield projects such as Zambia Gold Company at 51 percent, Kabundi Resources at 100 percent, Kariba Minerals at 100 percent and CLICK TO READ MORE

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (EOI) FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE TRANSACTION ADVISORY TEAM FOR THE EURONEXT LISTING UPGRADE – TENDER NO.: ZCCM-IH/004/2021

  1. INTRODUCTION

ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or the “Company”) is an investment holding company with diversified interests in mining, energy, property and other sectors of the Zambian economy.

The Zambian Government (“GRZ”) directly holds 17.25% of the shares in ZCCM-IH and 60.28% indirectly through Industrial Development Corporation (“IDC”), an investment company wholly owned by the Zambian Government. With the remaining 22.47% being held by institutions and individuals. The geographical spread of the minority shareholders, who number around 3,000, covers Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, Australia, Asia and the USA.

  1. BACKGROUND

ZCCM-IH is currently listed on the following three (3) stock exchanges:

    1. A primary listing on the Lusaka Securities Exchange (“LuSE”), having listed on 24 January 1996;
    2. A secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”), having listed on 29 June 1970; and
    3. A secondary listing on Euronext, Paris, having listed in October 1970.

Reconciling Balance (1 512)  
Totals 160 800 286 100.00

Majority of the listed ZCCM-IH shares are listed on the LuSE, however, significant share trading activity takes place on the Euronext.

In an effort to restructure ZCCM-IH’s stock exchange listings to enhance shareholder value, increase its visibility in the stock markets and thereby trading activity on its secondary exchange listings, the Board of ZCCM-IH approved the upgrading of the listing of the ZCCM-IH shares on the Euronext Stock Exchange from the Access tier to the Growth tier (“the Transaction”).

  1. Objective of the assignment

The Transaction Advisory Firm’s key objectives will be to:

    1. To advise on the listing upgrade methodology; and
    2. To actualize the listing upgrade in a manner consistent with all applicable rules and regulations.

ZCCM-IH now wishes to engage a Consulting firm for the Euronext Listing Upgrade.

ZCCM-IH now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing the above services. Interested firms must provide information to demonstrate that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions etc.)

Mopani Takeover Meant To Protect Interests Of Zambians – ECL

Unlike those who are doubting their capacity to run the mines, my government believes that Zambians can successfully run them, President Edgar Lungu has said.

President Lungu said there is nothing wrong with government acquiring shares in the mines especially when the investor was not keen at pumping in resources.

He said when he addressed Village headmeen in Chinsali District of Muchinga Province that all the mines in the country were run by Zambians in the past.

The Head of State, however, said it was time to be innovative and come up with ideas on how best Zambians can run their own mines.

President Lungu said the acquisition of shares in Mopani Copper Mine is meant to protect the interests  of Zambians.

He says the acquisition of shares in Mopani mine was done through a negotiated deal adding that his government is not preoccupied with the selling of national assets like mines.

He assured the general public that his government will ensure that businesses become profitable for the benefit of the workers and all Zambians.

The Head of State also said he will not be distracted but ensure that Mopani operates well and that ZCCM-IH will manage to meet its obligations with regard to its decision to acquire shares in Mopani.

ZCCM-IH HAS CAPACITY TO RUN MOPANI COPPER MINE, SAYS IDC

Economy, Mining, Opinion

Written by 

Lusaka, 21st January 2021 – The Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has said ZCCM-IH has the capacity to efficiently operate Mopani Copper Mines.

IDC Group CEO Mr Mateyo Kaluba said the mining company’s Board of Directors and Management would be competent enough to professionally run the newly acquired mine.

“In terms of our confidence that the mine will be professionally run, we have no doubt,” Mr Kaluba said, adding that the company would further seek a strategic equity and technical partner to enhance its capacity.

He reiterated that the acquisition of Mopani Copper Mine by ZCCM-IH was consistent with the direction the mining conglomerate was taking to have more control of mining interests in the country.

Mr Kaluba said the IDC, as ZCCM-IH’s holding company, was involved through an extensive consultation process to give the necessary guidance and approvals.

Regarding the payment of the US$1.5 billion transaction debt by Mopani to Glencore, Mr Kaluba said that the debt was the burden of the mining company itself and not the State. He added that the mine’s debt as a result of this transaction had no impact on the country’s sovereign debt.

Mr Kaluba explained that the deal was structured in such a way that Glencore would be the off taker of Mopani’s copper and that a 10% portion of the proceeds would go towards debt repayment. He said the debt would be fully paid over the next 10-17 years depending on the mine’s production capacity and fluctuations of the copper prices.

Mr Kaluba urged Zambians to be more confident in taking up more challenging assignments, as the government had created an enabling environment where companies such as ZCCM-IH and IDC are able to be more assertive in taking control of national assets.
