Jubilee Metals Expands Zambia Copper Focus Amid Strategic Shift

Published: Apr 20, 2026 09:10
Jubilee Metals is accelerating its transition into a copper-focused company, shifting away from chrome and PGM assets toward Zambia, where it targets annual production of around 25,000 tonnes. Strong demand and limited new supply are supporting copper’s attractiveness as a core commodity.
