FILTERED INTERVIEW RESULTS
Vis Reddy
CHAIRMAN, SOUTH AFRICA & REGIONAL COORDINATOR (AFRICA), SRK GLOBAL
"We have learnt a lot about working with Chinese companies, who often preferred to work with contractors back home. We responded by working closely with the SRK Beijing office and creating a multi-country team involving South Africa, DRC and China – which has opened many doors."
Oscar van Antwerpen
FOUNDER AND CEO, MINROM CONSULTING
"Africa has become the focal point in a tug-of-war over REE, battery minerals, and other critical minerals like copper, zinc and lead, creating opportunities for the continent to leverage its underground wealth."
Kris Jedrzejczyk
MANAGING DIRECTOR, BLU ROCK
"Over the past year, we have invested in new equipment and specialized terrain vehicles to improve our productivity and capacity, and have also ordered new drill rigs."
Anthony Malenga
COUNTRY MANAGER (ZAMBIA), BARRICK
"The US$2 billion Super Pit expansion at Lumwana will double our production from an average of 120,000 to 240,000 t/y by 2028."
Daniel Major
CEO, GOVIEX URANIUM
"With the Zambian government intently focused on increasing copper production, we have seen infrastructure improvements, with rail and road upgrades, as well as a strong focus on education and training to support the mining sector."
Anthony Mukutuma
DIRECTOR - ZAMBIA, FIRST QUANTUM MINERALS (FQM)
"Our vision is closely linked to Zambia’s vision: to bring the country’s copper production to 3 million t/y by 2031."
Jason Kazilimani
CEO, KPMG ZAMBIA
"Zambia indeed deterred many investors due to multiple policy shifts in the mining tax regime that showed no consistency. However, since 2021 and with a new government in place, we have seen more stability as well as investor-friendly policies."
Jeff Chiila
FOUNDER AND CEO, RED SPOT COMPANIES
"We are committed to growing our business and strengthening our role as a key partner to the mining industry in Zambia and beyond."
Greg Hayes
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, MINERALS & METALS, WOOD
"We have a strong track record of doing business in Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana and Namibia. However, localization requirements present challenges for foreign companies looking to undertake projects."
Pierre Léveillé
PRESIDENT & CEO, KORYX COPPER
"By early 2025, we would expect to increase the average grade to over 0.40%."
