<p>Investment Opportunities Zambia is endowed with substantial mineral resources. However the major metal, which has been exploited for nearly a century, is copper. Since the establishment of Zambia as a nation, copper has been and still is, the single largest contributor to the Zambian economy. Depressed copper prices on the International markets, plus the under-capitalization of our copper mines, have resulted in severe constraints on our economy. To address this problem and in order to ensure that the mining industry continues to play a crucial role in National development, the Government has begun to take bold steps. A new Mining Act was put into place in 1995. the main features of the act were: the divestiture of government from the business of mining through privatization of the mines; the liberalization of the fiscal policy; and the provision of several tax concessions to mining companies. We aim here, to provide the investor with detailed information on Zambia as a mining investment destination. We would like to demonstrate the wide range of opportunities in mining in our country, in addition to copper mining.</p>
