Four Big Mines Dominate Zambia''s Copper Production
Barrick''s Lumwana mine is situated about 100 km from Solwezi. The centre of gravity of Zambia''s coppermining industry is starting to spread from the Copperbelt to NorthWestern province. FQM and Barrick''s operations there already account for about half of the country''s annual production, and Sentinel is steadily ramping up production too.
