As the global transition to clean energy accelerates, the demand for copper continues to rise sharply in 2025. Zambia, already a major player in Africa’s copper production, is seeing renewed investment and infrastructure upgrades to meet international needs. Chiwempala Heritage Minerals stands at the forefront of this opportunity, expanding its copper exploration and ore processing operations to serve the growing global market.
International forecasts from institutions like the World Bank and the International Energy Agency project a sustained copper shortage over the next decade, driven by electric vehicle production, renewable energy installations, and smart grid systems—all of which require large quantities of copper. Zambia's rich copper belt, including areas surrounding Chiwempala, is being reevaluated for deeper exploration and value-added processing.
Chiwempala Heritage Minerals is also exploring industrial minerals such as limestone and quartz, essential for cement and glass production, creating additional diversification for the company. With modern geological surveys, improved extraction technology, and a focus on environmentally responsible mining, we are poised to not only meet industrial demands but also promote local economic development.
Our continued partnerships with local communities, government entities, and global stakeholders ensure that our mining efforts contribute positively to Zambia’s economic goals while adhering to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards.
Zambia, often called the "Copperbelt of Africa," remains a global leader in copper production while also holding vast reserves of cobalt, manganese, and other critical industrial minerals. As global demand surges for metals powering the green energy transition, Zambia’s mining sector is undergoing a renaissance.
At Chiwempala Heritage Minerals Limited, we bridge the gap between Zambian mineral wealth and international markets—delivering high-grade copper, cobalt, and industrial minerals with full legal compliance and secure logistics.
Zambia is the 7th largest copper producer globally, with output exceeding 800,000 metric tons annually.
Key mines: Kansanshi, Lumwana, Mopani, and Konkola Copper Mines (KCM).
Rising demand from renewable energy (solar/wind), EVs, and infrastructure projects.
Zambia holds 5% of global cobalt reserves—a critical metal for EV batteries and electronics.
New exploration projects targeting manganese, nickel, and graphite for the energy transition.
Tax incentives for new mining investments (e.g., reduced VAT on mining equipment).
Minerals Development Agency (MDA) promoting local value addition (e.g., smelting plants).
Frequent load-shedding raises production costs.
Our Solution: Partnering with mines using renewable energy (solar hybrids).
Smuggling of copper/cobalt to DRC and Tanzania.
Our Role: Providing legal sourcing channels and traceable supply chains.
Most copper is exported as concentrates, missing out on higher-value refined products.
Our Strategy: Partnering with local and international smelters to boost profitability.
We supply:
- Copper cathodes (99.99% purity)
- Cobalt hydroxide (for battery markets)
- Manganese ore (steel and battery applications)
Handling:
- Ministry of Mines licenses
- ZRA tax clearance
- CEEC-certified sourcing (for ethical mining)
Secure transport with GPS-tracked armored trucks.
Ocean freight partnerships for bulk mineral exports.
Copper demand projected to grow 3-4% annually (driven by EVs and grid infrastructure).
Cobalt prices rebounding with battery megafactories in Europe/Asia.
