President Hakainde Hichilema’s visit to China last year has continued to yield positive results, encouraging investors to establish facilities such as the Jiangxi Bureau of Geology (JBG) mineral laboratory, which is able to test any type of mineral and soil samples from across the country.
Jiangxi Burreau of Geology General Manager, Sterlin Shi, says the over USD$ 3 Million Mineral laboratory, which started its operations this year is expected to assist Zambia meet its projected three million tonnes of copper production per year by 2030.
Mr Shi disclosed that he has established the Mineral laboratory in order to enable the Zambian Government achieve its copper production target.
“This laboratory is the biggest in the SADC region with the potential to help Zambia to discover different types of minerals because we also do exploration apart from testing samples.
