KCM Nkana is situated in Kitwe, Zambia.
The Nkana Smelter is the largest primary copper production plant in Zambia. The plant treats concentrates mainly from Nkana, Nchanga and Konkola mines which are wholly owned by KCM to produce up to 150000t of new copper.

Nkana Smelter
The smelter  produces high grade anodes, which are electrolytically refined. Sulphur dioxide gas produced by the Converters is converted into sulphuric acid which is then used at the Tailings Leach Plant, Nchanga for recovering oxide copper. The smelter also produces discard slag from the reverbs that is rich in cobalt which is stored for future reclamation.

Nkana Refinery
The Nkana Copper Refinery produces electrolytically refined copper in the form of cathodes. The copper meets the LME premium quality grade. The tankhouse has a capacity of about 180000t of finished copper per annum.

Nkana Acid Plants
There are two single contact sulphuric acid plants at Smelterco, namely No. 3 and No.4 plants. No.3, the largest is still operational. The plant has a design capacity of 1050 t per day acid.
