Northern Rhodesian Copper
Industry
The Board of the Nchanga Consolidated
Copper
Mines has decided
to
extend the concentration plant to an
annual capacity of 60,000 tons of pure
copper. This decision is of great importance
to the Rhodesian copper industr>
and will raise the potential output
of
the
colony to about 400,000
tons by the beginning of next year. s
Ten years ago
Northern
Rhodesia's
copper output was
less
than
10,000
tons.
The Rhodesian copper industry has
been mainly responsible
for
making
Britain independent of foreign copper
supplies. In the last war the great bulk
of the copper used by Britain had to
be obtained in the United States ahd
Chile against dollars.
The
Colonial
Empire is therefore doing its bit to
strengthen not only the striking power
but
the financial position of the
Allies.
