The metals and energy major plans to ramp up copper production from the mines to 300,000 tons a year and cobalt output to 6,000 tons.
Schirnding said the copper-cobalt project had reached 85 percent completion point and was expected to commence full operations in October this year. He said Zamsort Limited and Arc Minerals had so far invested over $10 million in the construction of a copper-cobalt leach plant located in Mwinilunga district of North-Western province.
During the first and second phases, the plant will produce an estimated 40,000 tonnes of copper cathode and 7,000 tonnes of cobalt hydroxide annually. The third phase is projected to yield up to 80,000 tonnes of copper cathode and 14,000 tonnes of cobalt hydroxide per annum, with the potential for further expansion to reach a production ...

ERGA operates Chambishi Metals, a cobalt and copper electro-metals refinery north of Kitwe, which produces copper cathode and cobalt metal. The Chambishi plant is the only plant in Zambia producing cobalt metal and is one of the largest cobalt metal producers in the world.
Official data from the Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development shows that Zambia's annual cobalt production in 2022 has reached 251 tons, representing a 2% increase from the 247 tons produced in 2021. The country's cobalt production had previously decreased after the collapse of international prices.
These super alloys make up nearly half of the cobalt used each year. Cobalt is also used in making of cutting and wear-resistant materials. Cobalt's use in rechargeable batteries is one of its fastest growing applications. The cobalt found at KCM's mines is produced in an alloy form known as copper-cobalt alloy which is marketed to cobalt ...
