Copper & Zambia

Copper: Global Copper supply is expected to tighten due to underinvestment and the extended shutdowns of Zambian smelters, leading to reduced output.

Zambia: Zambia's copper smelters, Mopani and Chambishi, are undergoing extended maintenance, which will reduce the nation's copper output and sulphuric acid supply. The country has also tightened controls on sulphuric acid exports to protect local industry.

Copper: Copper is the primary commodity being explored and developed by Midnight Sun Mining at its Dumbwa copper deposit, located in a region known for its major copper deposits.

Zambia: Zambia is the location of the Solwezi Copper Project and the Dumbwa copper deposit, which Midnight Sun Mining is developing. The country is part of the Zambia-Congo Copperbelt, a major copper-producing region.
