Konkola is an area in Chililabombwe District, Copperbelt Province, Zambia, just south-west of the Kasumbalesa border with DR Congo. It has large copper reserves.
Konkola Copper Mines established a major mine in the area; it is now controlled by Vedanta.[2]
A new mine was started at Chililabombwe in October 2010; it is a joint venture between Vale and African Rainbow Minerals.[3] Production is expected to reach 45000 tons of copper concentrate per year. Vale expects to export copper by rail through Mozambique.[4]
