LUSAKA – Zambian copper output rose 10.6% to 402 222 t in the first half of the year, the central bank governor Denny Kalyalya said on Wednesday.

Zambian copper mining industry has been increasing production of the metal thanks to stable power supply and relatively higher metal prices in recent months.
