“The government remains committed to providing all necessary support to ensure the survey is successfully completed,” Dr. Kabeta stated.
A more detailed update will be provided by the Minister of Mines during the presentation of production figures scheduled for January 27, where the full status of the geophysical survey and production data will be shared.
Dr. Kabeta highlighted the progress made by the company contracted to undertake the survey. “As of January 5, the survey had covered 55 per cent of the country. A detailed update will follow during the Minister’s briefing,” he said.
The Aerial Mineral Mapping Survey is a critical initiative aimed at enhancing Zambia’s geological understanding and supporting sustainable mineral development. Completion of the project is expected to provide comprehensive data to guide future mining and investment decisions in the country.
