KONKOLA COPPER MINES ACCESSES A LOAN FACILITY FROM STANDARD BANK


Standard Bank says it has provided a 500 million dollars loan facility to Zambia's largest mining company, Konkola Copper Mines.
The Bank has said in a statement that the loan will be used to refinance shareholder loans from Vedanta.
The statement further notes that Standard bank will arrange and underwrite a 700 million dollars loan facility to fund investment for KCM.
Standard Bank Head of Mining Finance, Brad Breetzke says the loan facility is the single largest injection into a local mining company.
The loans are in the backdrop of KCM holding company, Vedanta, having announced last year a 674 million dollars expansion investment to increase output.
