But in a greener climate the race is on.
Leon Coetzer CEO at Jubilee Metals Group said in response: “The article highlights the rapid development in energy storage capacity of batteries with zinc starting to play a bigger role in this arena as a safer alternative. This bodes well for our Zinc surface project at Kabwe.”
Jubilee Metals Group (LON:JLP) is actively engaging with 3rd party suppliers of both copper and zinc ore to develop strategic partnerships as part of the expansion of the Integrated Kabwe Operations.
