From page 29 of the KR prospectus:
"Kabwe
The Company has a 11% royalty interest in the Kabwe surface secondary zinc, lead, and vanadium from previous mining at Kabwe in Zambia (the “Kabwe Project”) with no obligation or requirement to contribute to the costs of the Kabwe Project. Jubilee is the sole operator of the Kabwe Project and has full control of the operation and implementation of the project. Jubilee is currently actively engaged in copper refining through the Sable refinery near Kabwe which it acquired from Glencore in 2019. Jubilee has focus on copper production since the Kabwe refinery is copper purpose ready in a strong copper market. The zinc tailings at Kabwe are metallurgically more complex than originally thought and zinc prices have been historically volatile. The contribution from vanadium is challenged by the vanadium pentoxide price and the ability to recover the metal from feed. Consequently, the Company currently has no expectation of any royalty income from the Kabwe Project in the foreseeable future and its value was written down to nil in the financial statements for the year ended 29 December 2019."
