Months prior to the acquisition on 31 March 2021, Mopani produced a monthly production averaging 3, 500 tonnes of copper cathodes, but now produces about 9, 000 tonnes.

ZCCM-IH holds 100% shares in the mine which comprises underground mines, a concentrator, a smelter, and a refinery at the Mufulira mine site, and underground mines, open pits, a concentrator, and a cobalt plant at the Nkana mine site in Kitwe.
