Vice President Mutale Nalumango has commissioned the US$15 million Carbon-In Pulp (CIP) Gold Processing Plant in Nangoma Constituency, Mumbwa District, marking a significant milestone in Zambia’s mining and industrial development agenda.

The new facility is expected to boost local gold production capacity, enhance value addition, and create employment opportunities for communities in the district. Officials say the plant will also contribute to foreign exchange earnings and strengthen Zambia’s position in the regional mining sector.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Vice President Nalumango emphasized government’s commitment to supporting investments that drive economic diversification and industrial growth.

She noted that the project aligns with the New Dawn Administration’s vision of leveraging natural resources to achieve inclusive development.

The commissioning of the Nangoma plant adds momentum to Zambia’s broader efforts to expand its mineral processing infrastructure, reduce dependency on raw exports, and promote sustainable mining practices.
