Copper tools and jewellery were traded as currency in Zambia as far back as the 12th century, so it is difficult to say precisely when locals first started mining copper. Records of small-scale copper production date back to 1908 and 1911, when mining took place at Kansanshi and Bwana Mkubwa mines, respectively.
The project produces approximately 167,000 ounces of gold and about 270,000 tonnes of copper per annum. Since production started in 2005, the project has undergone two of a three stage US$800 million expansion project which will ultimately increase copper production by a further 50%.

Processes: copper mining and production. Copper is found in natural ore deposits around the world. This page explains copper mining: the production route taken from ore-containing rock to a final product that is the highest-purity commercial metal in existence and used in a wide variety of applications essential to modern living.
The laborious task of mining copper ore by hand made it difficult to obtain large quantities for production. During the Industrial Revolution, coal- and steam-powered machinery paved the way for a huge increase in copper production with mines smelting between 200 and 300 tons of copper
