LUSAKA, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Copper production in Zambia,
Africa's second-largest producer of the metal, inched higher to
711,515 tonnes in 2015 from 708,000 tonnes the previous year,
the Zambia Chamber of Mines said on Friday.
"The ... increase is mainly on account of the 32,952 tonnes
of copper that Kalumbila Minerals contributed when it begun its
ramp-up in February," Zambia Chamber of Mines economist Shula
Jalasi-Shula said, referring to a new mine owned by Canada's
First Quantum Minerals FM.TO .
