Ivanhoe Mines lowers full-year copper, zinc production guidance
The revision comes despite a record 116,313 tonnes of copper in concentrate produced during the third quarter at Kamoa-Kakula.
Rescue efforts were underway after a mine pit collapsed in Zambia’s Mumbwa District, killing 10 people and injuring five, police said on Monday.
“An unknown number of people went to conduct mining activities at the pit this morning. During the course of their mining activities, the earth collapsed on them,” Zambian police said in a statement.
Rescue efforts were underway to save miners believed to be trapped under the debris.
“We will do everything possible to provide assistance and ensure a thorough investigation,” local politician Collins Nzovu said in a statement.
