Jubilee will provide £2mln for an effective 40% direct ownership of Kabwe in addition to holding 29.01% of BMR. 

The plan at Kabwe is to extract lead, zinc and vanadium from surface tailings left by the historical mine.

Leon Coetzer, Jubilee’s chief executive, said the next step is the project business plan and the presentation of the execution plan to the Zambian authorities.
