Who we are

A special purpose vehicle built for Rufunsa.

Mukunka Mining Ltd is the joint-venture company behind a gold project in Rufunsa District, Lusaka Province. Rufunsa has plenty of gold, but its artisan miners lack modern tools and a formal market. We bring international investment and know-how, and pass the skills on to local miners.

MISSION

To mine gold responsibly and sustainably, equipping Rufunsa's communities with modern equipment while upholding high safety and environmental standards.

VISION

To use advanced technology in gold production and processing, so that our gold meets the highest standards on the global market.

What we do

From ore body to certified gold.

Every stage follows written standard operating procedures covering production, safety, security and the environment.

01

Explore & extract

Geological surveys define ore bodies and pit boundaries. Controlled drilling and blasting, then haulage to the plant.

02

Process & recover

Crushing and milling free the gold. Gravity separation, trommels, sluices and flotation then recover it.

03

Assay

Our on-site laboratory, with XRF analysis and a smelting furnace, confirms the quality of every batch we process or buy.

04

Secure & certify

Gold is marked, kept in digital safes, moved to a secure Lusaka vault, then certified and taxed by the Ministry of Mines.

A formal, certified gold market helps Zambia collect the tax revenue that informal trading loses.
