MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

The board of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc ("ZCCM-IH" or the Company") wishes to inform its shareholders and the public that it has partnered with Kobold Metals and EMR Capital ("the partners") on a Copper exploration project, Mingomba ("the project"), in Chililabombwe District of the Copperbelt Province in Zambia.

The project is at the exploration stage with a view to attaining mine development once the feasibility studies are completed. The project is adjacent to the Kamoa-Kakula mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The investment is a ZMW 25,000 equity subscription into Mingomba Mining Limited with ZCCM-IH assuming 20% of the equity in the new company via a free carry mechanism with no capital contribution over the initial exploration period. A free carry mechanism ensures ZCCM-IH does not provide any financing in the initial exploration. Kobold will be providing financing of approximately $35 million during the initial three-year phase of exploration and it is only after this initial $35 million is exhausted, that ZCCM-IH and EMR would be expected to provide financing into the project.

Thereafter, depending on the results of the initial exploration program, an additional $30million is expected to be spent to complete the exploration program over the next 3 years, should the exploration results be positive. All parties will then be expected to contribute to the cost of exploration commensurate to their respective shareholding.
