Copper, gold and zinc miner First Quantum Minerals (FQM) has maintained jobs and production at its operations in Zambia, despite sector-wide moves to cut workforce and scale-down production as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Speaking at a visit by Zambia Mines and Minerals Development Minister Richard Musukwa to its Kansanshi mine earlier this month, GM Anthony Mukutuma attributed the positive results to the initiatives the mine had put in place to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its operations and workforce.
