Ambassador Michael Gonzales Remarks During his visit to Kobolds Mingomba Mine

Thank you all for having me and thank you to our hosts KoBold Metals for inviting us here today.  I’d also like to thank Presidential Special Assistant Jito Kayumba for joining us here today.

Six months after the conclusion of the U.S.-Africa Leaders’ Summit in December 2022, my first visit to KoBold’s Mingomba project is a reminder that the United States—not only the U.S. government, but the American private sector—is delivering on our commitments, our commitments to the people of Zambia.

During the Summit, President Biden announced that the U.S. government plans to invest $55 billion over the next three years across the African continent.  The Summit demonstrated our renewed commitment to partnerships between the United States and Africa: between countries, between institutions, and among our people.  We remain focused not on what we will do for Zambia as a donor, but what we will do with Zambia as a partner invested in Zambia’s success.  Because, we are investing in Zambia as we deepen and expand our partnership.

FQM’s Kansanshi mine hands over K1.2m cheques to six Solwezi cooperatives

First Quantum Minerals’ Kansanshi Mining PLC has handed over cheques amounting to K 1.2 million to six cooperatives engaged in various business activities, each receiving K 200,000 in a continued effort to support and improve the welfare and livelihood of communities in Solwezi.

The mining firm is alive of the fact that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in most economies, particularly in rural communities, however, access to finance is a key constraint to SME growth, and it is one of the most cited obstacles that they are faced with.

The additional funding of K 1.2 million follows the initial K 756,000 given to the six groups in February earlier this year, with each having received K 126,000 to help kick-start their business activities around the District.

Limestone Resources Limited (LRL) Extract from 2023 Annual Report

Limestone Resources Limited, formerly known as Ndola Lime Company, is specializing in the production and supply of limestone products. Its diverse product line-up includes quicklime, hydrated lime, and other lime product tailored to meet specific customer needs.  

The transition from Ndola Lime Company to Limestone Resources Limited represents a strategic move to address past challenges and leverage on new opportunities. This change signals an intent to revitalize the business, possibly by attracting new investment, improving operational efficiencies, and better aligning with market demands. Limestone Resources Limited’s journey reflects a commitment to not only continuing its legacy of quality limestone product supply but also enhancing its operational and financial health for future success.  

Limestone Resources Limited has an opportunity to attract fresh capital, revamp the business, and potentially cut the losses experienced by its predecessor, Ndola Limestone.  

During 2023, LRL continued to build up on the knowledge and experience of operating the modified VK2 which was fired in October 2022 after nearly 6 years of being idle. The modification and the prolonged idle time presented initial challenges which took time to resolve. VK 2 was the only operational kiln at the company as no restoration repair works were carried out on VK1, while the Rotary kiln remained mothballed.  

Production from VK2 was an average of 140 tonnes per day against the kiln’s capacity of 500 tonnes per day due to technical limitations on the kiln’s operating mode. Another key stumbling block to attain nameplate capacity was a lack of reliable mining equipment and a frequently malfunctioning crushing plant.  

Revenue for the year was ZMW96.7 million, a notable increase from ZMW26.8 million in 2022. The company made a loss of ZMW180.74 million (2022: ZMW90.81 million).  

There were no dividends declared during the year under review (Dec 2022: Nil)
