As quoted in the market news:
Zambia, Africa’s biggest copper producer, introduced a 10 percent levy on the export of ore and concentrates in November 2011 as it sought to increase local value addition to mineral products. The government waived the levy for the export of manganese ore and concentrate in February last year.
