Zambia has adopted high-resolution aerial geophysical technology to boost mineral exploration as part of its efforts to diversify the economy.

The initiative, launched by President Hakainde Hichilema, involves a nationwide geophysical survey aimed at more targeted exploration of mineral and water resources.

The new technology is expected to significantly lower the cost of mineral exploration in the country and attract investment.

Speaking at an event in Lusaka on Wednesday, President Hichilema said the mapping exercise would help Zambia better assess the true market value of its mineral wealth, enabling more secure transactions.

“The project underscores our commitment to unlocking the untapped potential of the country's mineral resources as we work towards achieving our goal of 3 million tonnes of copper production by 2031".

“It will ultimately create jobs and drive economic growth,” Hichilema was quoted.

The president also urged Zambians to support the initiative, highlighting its potential to strengthen the country's economic prospects.
