Sinomine Resource Group has announced plans to begin copper production at its Kitumba Copper Mine in Zambia’s Central Province by September 2026. The update was shared in a company WeChat post on Thursday.
Located in the Mumbwa district, the project is expected to receive an investment of $560 million. On Monday, Sinomine commenced stripping operations, which involve the removal of surface soil and rock to access the ore body.
This marks a key milestone in the development of the project, which is set to contribute significantly to Zambia’s copper output once operational.
