First Quantum, Glencore May Extend Zambia Mine Life, Times Says 2005-08-09 04:58 (New York) By Anthony Mukwita and Antony Sguazzin Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Glencore International AG and First Quantum Minerals Ltd. may extend the life of their Zambia copper mines known as Mopani Copper Mines Plc, after discovering new deposits, the Times of Zambia said, citing a company spokesman. The life of the mines may be extended to 20 years from 15, the unidentified spokesman said, according to the Lusaka-based newspaper, which is owned by the government. The deposits, located at Luansobe near the northern town of Mufulira, would also boost annual output to 190,000 metric tons of copper from 185,000 tons currently.
