How to Export Goods from Zambia to the DRC: Documents and Border Process

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Exporting goods from Zambia to the DRC is one of the biggest trade opportunities in the region. Mines in Lubumbashi, Kolwezi and across Haut-Katanga and Lualaba buy huge volumes of chemicals, spare parts, fuel, food, equipment and consumables, and much of it travels through Zambia. But the border process is complex, and incomplete paperwork can leave trucks stuck for days. This guide explains the documents you need, how the border process works and how to avoid costly delays. Why the DRC Is a Key Export Market for Zambian Suppliers Massive mining demand: The DRC's copper-cobalt belt is one of the largest mining regions in the world. Proximity: The Copperbelt is only a few hours' drive from Lubumbashi. Regional trade agreements: Both countries are members of SADC and COMESA, which can offer preferential treatment for qualifying goods. Transit route: Many goods imported through southern African ports reach the DRC via Zambia. Main Border Crossings Between Zam...

What Is SX-EW? A Simple Guide to Copper Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning

By Ackson Mwape
Image
SX-EW (solvent extraction and electrowinning) is the process that turns low-grade copper ore into 99.99% pure copper cathode without a smelter. It is used at many oxide copper operations across Zambia's Copperbelt and North-Western Province, and throughout the Katanga region of the DRC. This guide explains how SX-EW works in simple terms, what each stage does, which consumables it needs and why it matters to mine profitability. What Does SX-EW Stand For? SX-EW is short for Solvent Extraction – Electrowinning . It is a hydrometallurgical process, which means it recovers metal using water-based chemical solutions instead of high-temperature smelting. The process has three main stages: Leaching – dissolving copper from the ore with sulphuric acid Solvent extraction (SX) – separating and concentrating the copper Electrowinning (EW) – plating pure copper onto cathodes using electricity Stage 1: Leaching Leaching is the first step. Crushed or run-of-mine ore is placed ...

Best UPS and Backup Power for Load-Shedding (2026 Buyer's Guide)

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, G & Y Solutions earns from qualifying purchases. This costs you nothing extra. Read our full disclosure . Power cuts are now a normal part of running a home or business in many parts of the world — from scheduled load-shedding in Southern Africa to storm outages and grid failures in North America and Europe. Every unexpected shutdown risks lost work, corrupted files, damaged hard drives and dropped internet connections. The fix is the right backup power: a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to keep computers running safely through short cuts, or a portable power station to ride out outages lasting several hours. At G & Y Solutions we supply IT and power equipment to offices, mines and institutions on the Zambian Copperbelt, where load-shedding has been a daily reality. This guide shares what we have learned about choosing backup power that actually works — and the models we would buy today. Our Top Picks at a Glance ...

How to Safely Store Sulphuric Acid at a Mine Site: Tanks, Bunding and PPE

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Storing sulphuric acid at a mine site is one of the highest-risk activities in any copper leach or SX-EW operation. Concentrated acid is highly corrosive, reacts violently with water and can cause severe burns in seconds. Yet many plants on the Copperbelt and in the DRC still run with ageing tanks, damaged bunds and incomplete PPE. This guide explains how to store sulphuric acid safely, from tank selection and bunding to PPE and emergency response. Why Safe Sulphuric Acid Storage Matters Most leach operations hold only a few days of acid on site, so storage tanks are constantly being filled and drawn down. Every transfer, valve and pipe joint is a possible leak point. A single failure can lead to: Serious chemical burns and eye injuries to workers Soil and groundwater contamination Regulatory penalties and plant shutdowns Loss of expensive acid stock Damage to nearby equipment and structures Good storage design and discipline prevent almost all of these incidents....

Why Sourcing Sulphuric Acid in Zambia Is So Difficult (and How to Secure Supply)

By Ackson Mwape
Image
  Sourcing sulphuric acid in Zambia should be simple. The country is one of Africa's largest copper producers, and copper smelting produces sulphuric acid as a by-product. Yet procurement managers across the Copperbelt and North-Western Province regularly face empty storage tanks, delayed tankers and sudden price increases. This article explains why sulphuric acid supply in Zambia is so difficult, what it costs mining operations, and how buyers can secure a reliable supply. Why Sulphuric Acid Matters to Zambian Mining Sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) is the backbone of hydrometallurgical copper production. Heap leach, dump leach and agitated leach operations use it to dissolve copper from oxide ores before the solution moves through solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) to produce copper cathode. Acid consumption is continuous. When supply stops, leaching slows, solution grades drop and cathode output falls within days. For many oxide operations, acid is one of the large...

Buying Sulphuric Acid for DRC Mining Operations: A Practical Buyer's Guide

By Ackson Mwape
Image
              G & Y Solutions acid tanker offloading sulphuric acid at a mine in Lubumbashi, DRC For copper and cobalt producers on both sides of the Zambia–DRC border, sulphuric acid is not just another consumable. It drives leaching, feeds the SX-EW circuit, and directly controls how much metal leaves the plant each month. When acid arrives late, off-spec or short, production stops — and every idle day costs far more than the acid itself. Yet many procurement teams still buy acid on price alone. This guide explains what experienced buyers check before they commit, so your next order arrives on time, on spec and fully compliant. 1. Why Acid Supply Is a Production Risk, Not Just a Purchase In heap leach and agitated leach operations, acid consumption is continuous. Most plants hold only a few days of storage, which means a single delayed tanker convoy can force a plant to cut throughput. The real cost of a supply failure includes: Lost copper and c...
