Zijin Mining halts partial underground mining at Kamoa-Kakula

Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. (HKEX:2899) announced a temporary interruption of partial underground mining at its Kamoa-Kakula Copper Mine due to recent seismic activity in the Kakula Mine. The seismic event resulted in roof-falling and rib-spalling in the eastern section, leading to the suspension of underground operations in the affected area and the safe evacuation of all personnel. The company is mobilizing internal and external experts to investigate the cause and assess mining methods and safety measures.
