Zambia will extend its 10% export duty waiver on Copper concentrate through September 30 to clear 271,742 tons of stockpiles. The extension addresses processing backlogs caused by extended maintenance and technical failures at the country's primary smelting facilities. The move follows Zambia's 2025 export of 890,346 metric tons as the nation targets 3 million tons of annual production by 2031.
