Zambian Mining in Crisis

2024 has been devastating for Zambian mining safety, with a shocking 128% increase in fatalities compared to 2023.

98 reported mining accidents in 2024
31 fatalities (up from 19 in 2023)
K21,880 cost per fatal accident
K500,000 regulatory fines per incident
K5 million annual losses for mid-sized mines

Recent Tragedies (2024)

8 killed in Chingola mine collapse (Oct 2024)
10 killed in Mumbwa mining incident (Oct 2024)
9 killed in Lusaka mining accident (Aug 2024)
40% PPE non-compliance rate across sites
5+ minute delays in gas leak detection
30% energy waste from manual ventilation
