Mining in Zambia

Mining in Western Province

Western Province covers the Barotse floodplain and the upper Zambezi around Mongu. Copper and iron ore exploration is early stage but growing, road and bridge upgrading is opening up remote districts, and floodplain transport, fishing and agro-processing keep heavy equipment and contractors in demand.
