By Sharon Siame
Musamu Resources Limited Executive Chairperson SIXTUS MULENGA has called on ZCCM-IM Investment Holdings to consider setting up a manganese processing plant.
Dr. MULENGA also says there is need for more participation of Zambians in manganese mining.
He said this at the ongoing Mining and Investment Insaka in Lusaka today.
Dr. MULENGA said the Zambia Manganese Sector is ready to create a platform for accelerated industrialization of the country through the development of a national steel industry.
He said the success of the Manganese Sector depends on it being inclusive of artisanal and small scale miners, large scale miners and manganese processing plants.
Dr. MULENGA said Government should continue to support the emergence of Zambian Investors in the Manganese sector by continuing to make the economic environment conducive to attracting affordable international capital.
