This milestone brings Zambia closer to its goal of becoming a key supplier of battery metals. The Enterprise mine, located near First Quantum&#8217;s Sentinel copper mine, took slightly over two years to build and commission.<\/p>\n<p>During the second quarter of 2023, Enterprise produced 6,147 tonnes of nickel, a 53% increase from the previous quarter. Once at full capacity, the mine is expected to produce around 30,000 tonnes of nickel concentrate annually, making it a top 10 global nickel producer.<br \/>In a separate development, First Quantum has agreed with HKEX and SSE listed Jiangxi Copper, its second-largest shareholder, to limit Jiangxi Copper&#8217;s ownership in the company. The agreement could potentially pave the way for a future deal to sell Jiangxi a minority stake in First Quantum&#8217;s Zambian assets.<\/p>\n<p>First Quantum has also narrowed its production guidance for Enterprise this year to 17,000 to 20,000 tonnes of nickel, at the higher end of its previous estimate, due to strong year-to-date production. Also, the company has started meetings with Panama&#8217;s new government regarding its shuttered Cobre Panama mine, expressing a preference for avoiding arbitration but reserving the right to pursue it if talks break down.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northernminer.com\/news\/first-quantum-starts-up-zambia-nickel-mine-enters-standstill-deal-with-jiangxi\/1003869915\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.northernminer.com\/news\/first-quantum-starts-up-zambia-nickel-mine-enters-standstill-deal-with-jiangxi\/1003869915\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Button Navs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;navs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<div class=\"cnl-bott-navs\">\n<div><span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/charltonsnaturalresources.com\/en\/saudi-arabias-maaden-q2-profit-plummets-91-amid-rising-operational-costs\/\" target=\"_self\">Saudi Arabia\u2019s Ma\u2019Aden Q2 Profit Plummets 91% Amid Rising Operational Costs<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/charltonsnaturalresources.com\/en\/zambia-plans-state-firm-to-own-30-of-critical-minerals-mines\/\" target=\"_self\">Zambia plans state firm to own 30% of critical minerals mines<\/a><span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Legal Advice&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Legal Advice&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<div class=\"cnl-legal-advice\">\n<h3>This newsletter is for information purposes only.<\/h3>\n<p>Its contents do not constitute legal advice and it should not be regarded as a substitute for detailed advice in individual cases.\nTransmission of this information is not intended to create and receipt does not constitute a lawyer-client relationship between Charltons and the user or browser.\nCharltons is not responsible for any third party content which can be accessed through the website.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not wish to receive this newsletter please let us know by emailing us at <a href=\"mailto:unsubscribe@charltonslaw.com\">unsubscribe@charltonslaw.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<div class=\"cnl-footer\">\n        <div class=\"cnl-footer-award\">\n                <div>\n                       <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/legal\/newsletters\/cnl_logo_footer.png\">\n                        <h2>Boutique Transactional Law Firm of the Year 2020<\/h2>\n                        <span>Asian Legal Business Awards<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n        <\/div>        \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cnl-foot-address\">\n        <div>Hong Kong Office: Dominion Centre, 12th Floor, 43-59 Queen\u2019s Road East, Hong Kong Tel: + (852) 2905 7888 Fax: + (852) 2854 9596<\/div>\n        <div>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charltonslaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.charltonslaw.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NATURAL RESOURCES News August 2024 First Quantum starts up Zambia nickel mine, enters standstill deal with Jiangxi &nbsp; On 23 August, 2024 TSX listed First Quantum Minerals announced that it has achieved commercial production at its Enterprise nickel mine in Zambia, set to become Africa&#8217;s biggest nickel operation.
