Sinomine Targets 2026 Copper Production at Zambia’s Kitumba Mine
Sinomine Resource Group has announced plans to begin copper production at its Kitumba Copper Mine in Zambia’s Central Province by September 2026. The update was shared in a company WeChat post on Thursday.
Located in the Mumbwa district, the project is expected to receive an investment of $560 million. On Monday, Sinomine commenced stripping operations, which involve the removal of surface soil and rock to access the ore body.
This marks a key milestone in the development of the project, which is set to contribute significantly to Zambia’s copper output once operational.
