In reply to G. Chilufya. They want some one to pay for what panama people did and it will be us Zambians through solwezi minerals, and what is funny is that fqm had way better wages and terms/conditions to its employees compared to charity organisations zambia, but people reacted to the wrongs.... Here in zambia and these leaders and there masters will appreciate this like a dog eating poisoned stake

These are the foreign investment tricks we Africans now know about and are fighting. First Quantam’s copper exports from Panama make up 75% of its total exports, while it only contributes a mere 5% of that country’s GDP. Why!! One would also note that of the Billions of Dollars raised from these copper sales, 90% is received and banked in Canada or some other offshore accounts abroad. How can our developing countries’ economies develop and how can theforeign exchange rates of our currencies be favourable? This is modern slavery. Also the selling prices of these minerals are determined by the super power bodies, such as LME, when no minerals are mined in London. This has to stop. If it does not then all developing and resource-rich countries will now join BRICS and forcibly this unfair world economic order.

In reply to Tandu Somanje. The Fishtie copper project is in Zambia’s Central province. The photo of Kansanshi is only to show one of the assets First Quantum has in Zambia. The article doesn't talk about Kansanshi, which is indeed near Solwezi, in the North Western Province of Zambia and has been First Quantum's flagship operation since 2005.

Kansanhi is not located in the Zambia’s Central province. It is located on the Copperbelt. Please do your homework.
