A Case Of Nchanga Open Pit Mine, Zambia Silwamba C, Chileshe P R K Abstract: Mining in Chingola, Zambia, started underground in 1931, and was catastrophically flooded and closed. The present Nchanga Underground Mine (NUG) started in 1937. The Nchanga Open Pit (NOP) mine started in 1955, situated to the west of NUG, and partially overlying it.
The mine has marked out a 90-m wide hazard exclusion zone in which the potential collapse is expected to occur. It is "at least" 60 m away from nearby communities, he said. Apart from the Nchanga open pit, KCM also operates the Nchanga and Konkola underground mines, concentrators, a smelter, a tailings leach plant, and a refinery. Press Release
Nchanga Division of ZCCM has installed and operated a trolley assist system on part of their truck fleet for some three years. This paper examines how the system came to be chosen and how the many features of construction and operation were dealt with. The economics and productivity of the system are presented as are the personnel aspects of acceptance and training.
Further open pits were commenced at Chingola ('A' and 'C' orebodies) in 1958, and Mimbula I and Fitula in 1967. Mining at the River Lode closed in 1972 and Chingola E in 1977.

Mining at Nchanga operations resumed in 1937. Surface mining operations from the Nchanga open-pit started in 1957. Nchanga's mining operations consist of an underground mine, the Nchanga open-pit and other satellite pits, refractory ore stockpiles and tailing dams. The mine pumps out about 75,000m³ of water per day.
The Zambian government's current infrastructure, mining and agricultural policies are all positive indicates for Mineral Link to diversify and capitalise. Projects such as the Pave Zambia 8,000 road development plan is an indication that we are on the right track and our equipment can be used to aid the work that the government wants to achieve.
