ESMAZ President Victor Kalesha

The Emerald and Semi-precious Stones Mining Association of Zambia is optimistic that the Copperbelt investments Expo will bring out a lot of positive results of the untapped investment potential in agriculture, forestry, tourism and gemstone mining sectors in the province.

ESMAZ president Victor Kalesha says the investments expo has come at the right time when the province needs serious diversification from Copper dependence.

Mr. Kalesha states that his association will use the opportunity before and during the expo to attract investors to gemstone mining as well value addition in gemstone polishing and ornament designing, stating that there is no better time than this to take advantage of attracting investors to the sleeping giant in gemstone mining.

He has therefore appealed to local investors not to shun potential investments like emerald mining as it is a huge income generator with adequate equipment and operating capital.

Mr. Kalesha is therefore optimistic that the expo will be an eye opener to the huge unrecognized investment potential in the province.
