Forest ... you are absolutely right .... mining cost are increasing every year. It doesn't matter if it is open cast or underground mining. Cost for everything (equipment, fuel, maintenance of rolling and loading stock, transport(if done by contractor), labor cost, maintenance of roads & bridges, etc, etc is and will increase every year. Because of oil prices spike, which will stay with us for some time, prices of everything will increase. Especially in country like Zambia where logistics of supply of material, spares are poor and costly. Inflation in Zambia is very high already. Somebody might be criticizing us for saying that, but wait and see for some figures at the end of financial year.
