mine in an area, it can apply to the Minister of Mineral Resources for either a mining permit, to do small scale mining, or a mining right, to do large scale mining. Mining Permit: A mining permit gives a company or individual permission to mine a small area of land (not more than hectares) for a specifiedperiod of up to 2 years.
Location. Mufulira is located approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of the town of Mokambo, at the international border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A tarmacked highway to the southwest connects Mufulira to Kitwe, 43 kilometres (27 mi) away.. The city of Ndola, the commercial and transport hub of the Copperbelt, lies approximately 105 kilometres (65 mi), by road
Mufulira, town, northcentral Zambia. Mufulira is situated just southwest of the frontier with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is one of the countrys chief coppermining centres; the rich local deposits have been exploited for many years. Smelting and refining of copper and an
historiography of mining in postcolonial Zambia. In the early hours of 25 September 1970, about two million tonnes of water, and slimes cascaded into the main working area of the Mufulira copper mine on the Zambian Copperbelt. It choked the mines main and intermediate haulages, and put three incline shafts, an ancillary crusher,
Most residential areas in both the city of Mufulira and Kitwe lie directly within the affected vicinity of the smelters and the inhabitants there are daily exposed to concentrations exceeding maximum daily average guidelines for SO 2 (SGAB et al. 2005). Particulate matter less than 10 #181;m in size (PM10) originates both from smelters and from

Mufulira Mine Disaster of 1970, Zambia. Figure 1: Sinkhole in the dam with the met site in the background (Norman Kenward Independent Photographer) On the 25th September 1970 an underground breach of a tailings dam occurred at the Mufulira Mine in Zambia. As the night shift crew were on duty the tailings dam above them collapsed causing nearly 1 million tonnes of tailings to fill

The Mufulira Mine is now owned and operated by Mopani Copper Mines, which employs 10,000 permanent workers and produced about 300,000 tonnes (330,693 tons) of copper bars in 2007. The Mufulira Copper Smelter was rehabilitated by SMEC South Africa. Production and employment levels went down from the 1969 peak when the Copperbelt made Zambia the world''s 4th largest copper
Sep 01, 2019#0183;#32;Critical studies on comprehensive characterization of PM from the mine environments are required, as these will help in understanding the possible long and short term adverse health and ecological effects PM has on the communities in the mining areas. In Mufulira and other affected regions, there is need for studies on the effects of miningderived acid rain, dust deposition on leaves and soil heavy metal contamination on plant/crop growth and related abiotic
of infrastructure neglect. For instance, the Ndola Mufulira Mwambashi (M4), Mufulira and Border with DRC (M5) and KafulafutaLuanshya (M6) roads that are part of the rehabilitation of the copper mining industry, have developed potholes, are uneven and would require complete resurfacing in some sections.
Research by the Overseas Development Institute on the taxes and fees in the Zambian mining sector during privatisation in the late 1990s and the subsequent boom in copper prices reviewed the taxes and fees for mining and compared it internationally for royalties and corporate income tax in other major mining countries. There were significant differences between countries in how these taxes are
#0183;#32;Mining can lead to the destruction of habitats in surrounding areas. The process begins with deforestation. The land above the mine must be cleared of all obstructions to allow the miners to go to work. Sadly, most mining companies are quite willing to destroy an entire forest to get access to mineral wealth. Deforestation has several effects.

Most of the towns residents are routinely exposed to sulphur dioxide fumes, locally known as senta, but it is the communities closest to the mine that are most affected. My PhD research, which addresses environmental pollution and regulation on the old and new Copperbelts, includes the Mufulira communities of Kankoyo, Butondo and Zimba. Of these, Kankoyo is the most affected by air
