Zambia is on track to complete the construction of a dedicated power supply line to its first nickel mine where production of 8,600 tonnes of nickel will commence mid-year, an industry official said. Sixtus Mulenga, general manager of Albidon Zambia Ltd., a unit of Australia's Albidon Ltd., said the building of a power line to supply electricity only to the Minali nickel mine was progressing well.

Construction of the power line is progressing very well and we should be commissioning production at the mine mid this year," Mulenga told Reuters.
