Zambia to become Africa’s largest nickel producer
Zambia is set to emerge as Africa’s largest nickel producer following First Quantum Minerals (FQM)’s pledge to invest US$100 million in the Enterprise Nickel project.
The existing Nickel mine – Munali Nickel has a total annual production capacity of about 4,000 tonnes (over 300 tonnes per month) and this will add to the 30,000 tonnes that FQMs Kalumbila Nickel mine is expected to produce.
First Quantum Minerals has disclosed that the new Enterprise Nickel project will be operational within 12 months.

Nonsense ! we don’t have the balls to own our minerals
idiot! You don’t have the balls to discover and invest in the abundant mineral wealth.
In 2012 FQM promised to make the biggest city in southern Africa out of Solwezi by 2017. Today Solwezi is still as dusty as then.
It seems they have finally found partners in pledging lies.
Who builds a city? Is it businesses operating in a town or municipal authorities under guidance of the laws a particular country? U want FQM to start investing in real estate? What money will they make from that real estate? Who’s demanding the real estate anyway? Stop hallucinating.
Who made FQM account for the promises of making Solwezi the biggest city in Southern Africa?
Your corrupt pure farts party was just interested in corruption and bribery. Yes, they have found partners who are knowledgeable and serious.
Just watch and see what is going to happen at the end of five years.
Very true.You can sense the excitement in the mining sector with giants like Anglo coming back to Zambia.
I hv never drawn pride from such honours as being the largest producer of this or that metal in Africa.
