Local Processing and Smelting in DRC and Zambia

majorie_ckm
The mining industry has diversified operations in both Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo within the past few years. As these expansions occur, there is need for mining companies to develop more processing units in form of smelters and refineries in the region. The development of smelters and refineries can primarily appear to be steep in price but there are many advantages to having direct access to processing facilities within the mining region. For instance, local processing has a faster turn-around time. Minerals can be processed within a short amount… Read More Here
