CONSULTANT URGES GOVT TO TAKE UP SHARES IN PRIVATE MINES

A business consultant has advised government to take up shares in mines that are still in private hands.

Mr. Thomas Shikulu said the country has been lagging behind in terms of revenue collection from the mining sector and needs a pragmatic approach in which the mining sector is to be dealt with.

“We have also seen a change in the previous years…mining companies in the Copperbelt would also invest in a number of public goods like construction of roads, schools and hospitals; but with the mining companies of today this has gone down,”

Mr. Shikulu.

He added that this has led to low revenue collection for government which is supposed to use to invest in those particular goods.

The consultant further said government can increase stake in the mining sector which will lead to more decision making and increase their voice on board meetings, as they will encourage the sector to invest more in public goods.

Mr. shikulu explained that the strain on the government resource base will be reduced drastically and in turn fill up more resources for government to invest in other priority areas.

Meanwhile, business consultant Mubamba Sichilongo said the 90 percent sell by Glencore to ZCCM now has 100 percent ownership of Mopani Copper Mines.

“Would this be able to generate more revenue for the country from the mining sector? Perhaps before that, the question we need to ask is do we have sufficient capacity in terms of re-investment in the mines to reap the desired benefits,”

Mr. Sichilongo.

The consultant said a balance needs to be found to what extent foreign investors should be allowed to have their own shares.

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;

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”).

Zambia: Global Copper Recovery to Lift Zambia’s Economy

Lusaka, Zambia — A RALLY in the price of copper globally is a major boost for Zambia in its efforts to revive the economy impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) and drought.

The sharp recovery in the price of the commodity has been on the back of United States policy expectations as the new administration of president-elect, Joe Biden, assumes office.

The administration has announced an aggressive fiscal stimulus package.

Copper prices are up to more than US$7,95 per tonne, having already gained 2,42 percent for the year.

Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) concurred with market sentiments that prices were expected to climb with potential scenarios similar to the global financial crisis where prices climbed to over $9 000/tonne.

“Such moves would greatly benefit environments like Zambia that need to beef up their reserve base as part of their economic recovery plan targets,” RMB experts, Daniel Kavishe and Neville Mandimika, stated.

Zambia is Africa’s second-largest producer of copper, after the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In 2020, it produced more than 646 000 tonnes of the metal in the first nine months of 2020, up from 590,321 tonnes in the same period last year

Copper mining is central to the economic prospects for the Southern African country and covers more than 80 percent of all exports.

On Tuesday, Glencore, the Anglo-Swiss firm, confirmed the sale of its 73 percent stake in Mopani Copper Mines to Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM).

Kavishe and Mandimika gave the transaction a thumbs-up.

“Our current analysis suggests that an increased stake in the mine would enable the Zambian government to benefit from higher dividend pay-outs in future,” the RMB experts stated.

BOARD CHAIRMANS SPEECH ON ZCCM-IH’S ACQUISITION OF 90% SHARES IN MOPANI COPPER MINES

Good morning

Today’s event is a momentous occasion for ZCCM-IH and the country, as we pen down an agreement with our counterparts  to acquire 90%  of their shares in Mopani Copper Mines Plc.

In September last year, we announced to the market that  ZCCM-IH was in discussions with Glencore Finance (Bermuda) Ltd regarding the future of Mopani Copper Mines Plc

This move is in line with one of our new strategic pillars in our new strategic plan for 2020 to 2026, that aims at increasing our stakes in existing mining firms were we have minority stakes.

Hence, the acquisition of the 90% shares previously held by Carlisa Investments Corporation representing Glencore (73.1%) and First Quantum Minerals (16.9%) is a strategic move as we look to maximising shareholder value for the benefit of all stakeholders.

In line with the requirements of Section 9 of the Lusaka Securities Exchange Listing Requirements, we will give a detailed announcement in the course of this week, that sets out the salient features of the Acquisition.

Ladies and Gentlemen

As you may know, Mopani Copper Mines assets include operations that consist of four underground mines, a concentrator and a cobalt plant in Kitwe, and an underground mine, concentrator, smelter and refinery in the town of Mufulira, among others.

The remaining life of mine is 26 years for Nkana and 16 years for Mufulira, with 110 million tonnes in total, of proven ore reserves and copper grade of 1.89% as at 31st December 2019.

Suffice to say, Mopani has been operating for the past nine months without any capital injection from shareholders.

Our priority then is to turn around this asset  through  cost containment and Increased production output by bringing on line new production areas.

We will continue to give support to the hospital, the school and other social activities.

We will ensure continued operations of the mine, safeguarding of jobs and growth for the betterment of the country.

Ladies and Gentlemen

In line with our vision of being a world class investment holding company with a focus on mining, ZCCM-IH  will uphold the highest institutional standards in Environmental, Social and Governance principles and Transparency, driven by our extensive and deep industry knowledge and technical expertise in mining, financial and investment management.

As I conclude, I would like to express gratitude to Government through the Ministry of Mines, for the support rendered during the whole process, and to Glencore for its cooperation and patience.

And we also applaud Mopani management for keeping the mine afloat in the past months.

Thank you, and God bless you all.
