Mining Zambia

Zambia's mining industry is the biggest export sector. It is internationally recognised as a major producer of copper and cobalt (ranked as the seventh and second-highest world producer respectively). The country also produces precious metals (gold, silver), gemstones (amethyst, aquamarine, emerald and tourmaline), coal and industrial minerals.

Because the mining industry is so critical to Zambia’s economy and mining companies are enjoying great profits, many have invested in an extensive range of mining equipment to maximise their production. This demand for equipment has seen a boom in businesses that supply mining equipment in Zambia.

Mining steps

The mining industry requires numerous types of heavy equipment to meet the specific needs of either underground or surface operations - both have three main steps:

• Extraction - Drilling, blasting, or digging to remove materials from the mine site
• Material handling – Includes sorting and loading materials to either go to a waste area or the processing site
• Processing - This is the final step of mining. It involves grinding, separating, crushing, refining, and smelting mined ore or other goods at an off-site plant to turn them into finished products.

Here’s a few of the industry’s most common types of mining equipment:

• Underground mining loaders and trucks
• Hydraulic mining shovels
• Large dozers
• Electric rope shovels
• Rotary drill rigs and rock drills
• Motor graders
• Large wheel loaders
• Drag-lines
• Wheel tractor scrapers
• Mining drills
• Blasting tools
• Earthmovers
• Crushing equipment
