Overview

ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCCM-IH) is Zambia’s premier diversified mining and investment company, with a unique heritage as the country’s anchor in the extractives sector. The company is majority-owned by the Government of the Republic of Zambia and strategically positioned to drive value creation across the mineral value chain.

Strategic Role in Manganese

In line with Zambia’s Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP), 2022–2026, to diversify beyond copper, ZCCM-IH has been designated by Government as the official aggregator of manganese. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kabundi Resources Limited (KRL), ZCCM-IH operates manganese assets in Kabundi, Central Province and is spearheading the Manganese Aggregation Pilot Project starting in Luapula Province. This initiative intends to formalise artisanal and small-scale production, ensuring transparent pricing based on global benchmarks, with the goal to establish Zambia as a credible player in the international manganese market.

Broader Portfolio

Beyond manganese, ZCCM-IH holds interests across a wide range of commodities including copper, gold, limestone, and energy projects, ensuring a diversified revenue base. The company is also actively pursuing investments in value-addition, processing, and beneficiation, aligning with global trends in sustainable and responsible mining.

Vision

ZCCM-IH’s vision is to be Zambia’s leading resource investment company, delivering long-term value for shareholders, contributing to national development, and positioning Zambia as a competitive supplier in the global minerals and energy transition landscape.
