Musamu Resources Limited Executive Chairperson, Dr. Sixtus Mulenga, has urged ZCCM-IH to consider establishing a manganese processing plant in Zambia.
Speaking at the Mining and Investment Insaka in Lusaka, Dr. Mulenga emphasized the importance of greater involvement of Zambians in the manganese mining sector.
He highlighted that the development of a national steel industry could accelerate Zambia’s industrialization, with the manganese sector playing a key role.
Dr. Mulenga stressed that the sector’s success relies on the inclusion of artisanal, small-scale, and large-scale miners, alongside the establishment of processing plants.
He also called on the government to continue fostering a favorable economic environment to attract affordable international capital and support the growth of local investors in the manganese industry.
