TRADING STATEMENT
Â
In accordance with the Lusaka Securities Exchange ("LuSE") Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors of ZCCM-IH hereby advises the Shareholders of the Company that the Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the year ended 31 March 2017 are approximately 145% higher than for the year ended 31 March 2016.
Â
The movement in earnings is mostly due to improved performance for most major mining companies in ZCCM-IH's portfolio. This improved performance is attributable to stability in energy supply and continuous upsurge of copper prices on the international market.
Â
Shareholders are advised that the information contained in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the external auditors of the Company.
Â
The Company expects its provisional results for the year ended 31 March 2017 to be released via the LuSE SENS and published in the local press on or about 3 January 2018. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company's securities until publication of the results
