Bloomberg reported that ZCCM Investment Holdings Plc, the state owned Zambian mining company, extended the deadline for the submission of bids to buy a stake in Maamba Collieries Ltd.
Mr Joseph Chikolwa CEO of ZCCM said that the closing date was extended to March 28th 2008 from February 28th 2008 because of logistical problems caused by flooding in the southern African country.
