President Hichilema Commissions Kasenseli Mine
The commissioning of Kasenseli Mine marks a historic achievement as Zambia’s first government-led gold project, implemented through the Zambia Gold Company in partnership with the Chibwika Chiefdom Development Trust in Mwinilunga.
This initiative underscores the government’s dedication to fostering local community involvement and increasing Zambian participation in the mining sector.
During the exploration phase, the project has already created approximately 215 jobs, with employment expected to expand to 800 positions in the second phase.
An initial investment of K300 million is projected to yield annual production levels of 100 kilograms of gold. An additional K600 million has been allocated to bolster exploration and boost production capacity.
Kasenseli Mine represents a partnership rooted in mutual trust and shared goals, with an unwavering commitment to transparency, adherence to regulations, and sustainable development. The project is a significant step forward in Zambia’s journey to unlock the potential of its gold mining industry.
