Where Are We?

Lumwana is located in the North Western Province of Zambia, 220 km northwest of the Copperbelt and 65 km west of the town of Solwezi (our closest shopping facility) and close to the southern border of the DRC and the eastern border of Angola. Lumwana is easily accessed by the T5 Northwest Highway. The Copperbelt, one of the world's greatest concentrations of copper-cobalt deposits, has been a centre of commercial copper production for 80 years. The Northwest Highway, which links the Lumwana region, Solwezi and the Copperbelt, passes within 3km of the mine project. The Government has completed a highway upgrade as far as Solwezi and has committed to extend the upgrade to Lumwana. The Government has also completed the construction of a 330KV power line to Solwezi which will be extended to Lumwana. Apart from Lumwana, Equinox controls 100% of prospective tenements covering 19,300 km2, located predominantly in North Western Zambia and on the Copperbelt, referred to as the Zambezi Project. Equinox controls extensive ground positions over 3 of the 4 mineralized ‘domes’ in Zambia. Because our closest shopping facilities are quite far, we are well looked after by ATS (Allterrain Services) who supplies us with fruit, veggies, meat, dairy, groceries, drinks, cleaning products, etc on site. Whatever they don't have in stock, they try to source for us from either Solwezi, Kitwe, Lusaka or Johannesburg. Just remember, if you ever visit site, you cannot arrive without a little something - wine, champers, chocolates, biltong, cheese, etc are all very welcome. See you soon!
