Jubilee Metals Group is carving out a new identity in Zambia’s mining sector through a strategy that’s as ambitious as it is transformative. At the core of its momentum lies a comprehensive copper vision one grounded in measurable milestones, not just promises. Borrowing the agility often seen in the BPO sector, Jubilee brings a similar mindset to mining: agile expansion, intelligent integration, and purpose-led innovation.
From Fragmented Assets to a Unified Copper Ecosystem
The company now regards its Zambian operations as part of a unified whole rather than isolated efforts. Three strategic assets anchor this transformation, the Sable Refinery, the Munkoyo open-pit mine, and the fast-developing Project G. Together, they form a self-sustaining value chain that drives efficiency, reduces costs, and accelerates production timelines.
The Roan Concentrator, a central piece of this strategy, now operates at full capacity. In July 2025 alone, it delivered 384 tonnes of copper units, exceeding the monthly target of 350 tonnes. This output reflects Jubilee’s renewed performance focus following earlier setbacks due to power instability.
Munkoyo and Project G Growth Engines in Motion
Since launching in mid-2024, Munkoyo has rapidly earned its place as a top-performing asset. Drilling results suggest Jubilee can consolidate multiple pits into a single open-pit operation, with sustainable output projected at up to 8,500 tonnes per month at an average grade of 2.5% copper. So far, the company has sent over 5,000 tonnes of high-grade ore to the Sable facility, proving that Munkoyo is far more than a satellite mine it’s becoming a cornerstone of Jubilee’s copper ambitions.
Meanwhile, Project G continues to mature. Jubilee increased its stake to 65%, signaling strong belief in the asset’s long-term value. By December 2024, Project G aims to produce 3,000 tonnes of pre-concentrate monthly, contributing around 350 copper units to the value chain. This increase highlights Jubilee’s capacity to extract full value from its investments.
Renewable Power A Strategic Advantage
In early FY2025, Jubilee’s copper production dipped by 14% due to power outages.But The Company has since signed a renewable power agreement with Lunsemfwa Hydro Power. This move guaranteed a stable energy supply across all Zambian sites and aligned perfectly with Jubilee’s environmental sustainability goals.
Since then, operations at Roan, Munkoyo, and Sable have enjoyed uninterrupted energy, freeing them from reliance on Zambia’s fragile national grid. This stability has removed a major operational risk and boosted investor confidence in Jubilee’s Zambian portfolio.
