MINING expert and Premier African Minerals chief executive, George Roach has hailed the government’s ban on raw lithium exports saying the mineral should benefit the country.
Last month, Mines minister Winston Chitando banned the exports of raw lithium as the country was getting minimal benefits.
“… we are completely committed… to make sure that we benefit the country, the fiscus and the people and that as we go forward, we can see that there is further processing of lithium-bearing minerals, undertaken and done in this country,” Roach said.
