The Zambia Association of Manufacturers
in particular represents a large number of companies that can offer a
range of supporting services to the mining and mineral industries,
thus permitting incoming companies to operate on an efficient and
low-cost basis.
Due to the monolithic nature of the
mining industry in the past (predominantly copper), no Chamber of Mines
has been established, but with the growing involvement of private mining
companies, the development of such a body is anticipated.
