Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby
are joined by Colin Bird and Tolai Sikumba as they welcome you to the "Zambia Copper Special" podcast. In this podcast, we explore the integral role of copper mining in Zambia, particularly focusing on the Copperbelt region. This area, straddling Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is not just a geographic location, but the heartbeat of Zambia's economy and a significant player in the global copper industry. Our discussions will delve into the economic and social impact of copper mining, the involvement and backing of the Zambian government, the creation of numerous job opportunities, and the attraction of substantial foreign investments like the recent $1.1 billion infusion from Abu Dhabi's International Resources Holdings in Mopani Copper Mines. Join us as we uncover how this vibrant industry shapes the nation's economy, impacts local communities, and navigates the challenges of environmental sustainability.
