LUSAKA (Reuters) - Zambia's Chinese-owned Chambishi smelter plans to double processing capacity for blister copper to 300,000 tonnes in 2010 due to higher demand to use the facility from mining firms, the company said on Monday.
The government says smelter capacity in Zambia, Africa's largest copper producer, falls short of demand for processing copper concentrate into blister copper.
"We plan to double production to at least 300,000 tonnes of blister copper next year ... to do that we will have to expand the plant," Chambishi spokesman Lewis Mulenga told Reuters.
