Konkola Copper Mines Plc, Vedanta Resources Plc’s Zambian unit, stopped producing at one of its open pits near Chingola after a mining contract was not renewed.
The contract with Brazilian-owned U&M Mining Services expired Dec. 31, the Zambian company said in an e-mailed statement today. The Nchanga mine, which includes the halted Chingola F&D open pit, produces an average 5,400 tonnes per month of copper in concentrate, according to the company.
