Financial Insight Zambia, Founder, Mwelwa Kenneth Chibesakunda MBA, had the privilege to get more insights from the PwC Zambia Third Edition of the Mining Report, from the Country Head, Mr. Andrew Chibuye, who noted that the report is a build up focusing on some big issues and what people need to know, which begins with the acknowledgement that mining is the biggest part of the economy and affects the whole economy. Despite the decline in contribution to GDP with things such as taxes, and export earnings, the level of investment in the mining sector has increased exponentially in the last two or three years, which tells us that there's a lot of potential going forward, and not just in copper production but other minerals too. Overall, PwC looks at the performance of the sector as a whole and what it's contributing to the economy, and some recovery has been noted in 2024 as compared to the previous year. #PwCZambia #MiningSector #SideChatInterview #ThirdEdition #Get2Know

Botswana, Guinea, Mali—Which country relies the most on mining exports? The answer might surprise you! Is Guinea's gold dependency a double-edged sword for its economy? Can Zambia balance economic growth with sustainability in its mining sector? Botswana, Guinea, and Mali rely heavily on mining exports. Botswana leads with 92% of its exports from diamonds, bringing wealth but raising sustainability questions. Guinea (87%), Mali (85%), and Burkina Faso (84%) depend on gold, posing risks from political instability and governance challenges. "Isn't it risky to rely so heavily on one commodity?"

[WIMTI CLASSES] I am deeply honoured to have been part of the distinguished panel at the Women in Mining Nigeria Masterclass, where we addressed the critical and emotional subject of land use, indigenous people, mining rights, and consent. A heartfelt thank you to Janet Adeyemi and the Women in Mining Nigeria team for providing this platform to share my modest experience alongside such esteemed panelists from Australia and Nigeria, from whom I also learned a great deal. The subject we tackled is vast and complex, requiring innovative and practical solutions. During the session, it became clear that we could not touch on everything, which highlighted the immensity and intricacy of these challenges. This is why these conversations must continue—there is so much more to explore, and solutions must involve creative thinking. One key takeaway is the need to balance laws and policies with traditional and customary laws. A multistakeholder approach is essential—one that promotes mining with a human face and prioritises the wellbeing of vulnerable groups, especially women. At the end of the day, the true measure of success lies in ensuring that communities are better off after the implementation of mining projects. To achieve this, we need sustainable and robust livelihood programs, supported by a sustainability ecosystem built in partnership between the government and mining companies. This should encompass education, health, agriculture, and business development, creating local champions and improving access to both local and regional infrastructure. Congratulations once again to WIM Nigeria for orchestrating such a meaningful and impactful session. I look forward to continuing these important conversations as we work together towards more inclusive and sustainable mining practices. #LandRights #SustainableMining #WomenInMining #InclusiveDevelopment #IndigenousRights #WomenLeadership #MiningInnovation
