JCHX is committed to improving the management, enhancing the corporate efficiency, and continuously improving safety and environmental conditions, with the goal of developing Lubambe into a sustainable and ecological mine.
At the ceremony, Mr. Wang Xianlai, Executive Deputy GM of JCHX's Resource Investment Division, highlighted the significance of JCHX taking over Lubambe Copper Mine on the 60th anniversary of China-Zambia diplomatic relations. The mine is JCHX’s first resource project in Zambia, marking a crucial step made by JCHX in the "Going Global" strategy and in the resource investment sector.
