Mining in Zambia

Mining in Northern Province

Northern Province runs north from Kasama towards Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mpulungu on Lake Tanganyika gives Zambia a northern port, the Great North Road carries cargo and fuel in both directions, and small-scale mining, quarrying and hydropower support a steady stream of local contractors.
