LUSAKA, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Zambia, Africa's second-largest copper producer, expects copper production to hit one million metric tons by the end of this year, up from 820,676 metric tons in 2024, a senior government official said on Friday.
Minister of Finance and National Planning Situmbeko Musokotwane attributed the increase to the expansion of existing mines, the revival of old mines, and the establishment of new mines.
