Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>So according to the latest FQM report on Zambia\u2019s mining industry, one of the reasons Copper production has been on the Decline the last few years is due to Low grade in the Zambia Copper Ore.<\/p>\n

By implication the Ore grade has now improved and that\u2019s why they are \u2018investing\u2019 and \u2018capitalizing\u2019 huge. LOL: Copper Grade improves over decades of years. It\u2019s a known fact the Copper content in the Ore found in Zambia averages 2% .<\/p>\n

This is so since ZCCM time to decades later when FQM was made into a company by the Pascal family that were advisers in the liquidation and unbundling of ZCCM. This latest FQM report sounds like a Copy and Paste presented from one Country to another for tax avoidance and accounting trickery.<\/p>\n

The USA has Copper Reserves of 40 million tons (mt), Russia 30mt, China 20mt, Zambia 20mt and Canada 10mt. Except Zambia, all other countries does and will next 10 years require more copper in their industries than they can produce.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that the World currently has and will have next 10 years a shortfall of 4 million tons of Copper. Zambia\u2019s Copperbelt Ore has averages of 2% Copper content and significant Colbalt content.<\/p>\n

Black Mountain Ore (residues since 1931) has 1% Copper content and 4% Cobalt. North Western province has even higher Copper content close to 3% and some significant Gold content.<\/p>\n

We have to tell our own story and not rely on foreign copy and paste reports. Historians called It \u2018Scramble for Africa\u2019. We trust the current Government will represent us all Zambians fairly in the \u2018Scramble for Zambian Copper\u2019.<\/p>\n
