The Regulations, enacted under section 10 of the Geological and Minerals Development Act of 2025 and in force as of 1 January 2026, apply to all mining companies and mining-related companies operating in Zambia.

The Regulations require each mining and mining-related company, within six months of the Regulations coming into effect (i.e., by 30 June 2026), to dedicate a minimum of 20% of its annual procurement budget to local Zambian companies supplying core mining goods or services. This minimum threshold increases to 25% after one year, 35% after two years, and ultimately to at least 40% within five years of the commencement date of the Regulations. Additionally, the Regulations stipulate that the sourcing of non-core mining goods or services essential to mining operations is restricted exclusively to local companies.

For the purpose of determining what qualifies as a local company, the Regulations rely on the categories set out in the Citizens Economic Empowerment Act 9 of 2006 (CEEA).

Companies must also implement systems to demonstrate compliance, including submitting quarterly reports to the Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development.

Non-compliance constitutes an offence, and a convicted company may face specified penalties. Where an offence occurs with the knowledge or consent of a director, manager, shareholder, or partner, that individual may also be held liable.

The Regulations draw their policy basis from the National Mineral Resources Development Policy (2022), which aims to strengthen Zambian participation and ownership in the mineral value chain and encourage increased domestic procurement.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
