Phase 3 Post Privatisation 2000 to 2008
ReplyDeleteInvestment
- International metal prices start to increase - rose by 269% on average at its peak
According to Infomine (chart) In the last 10 years, copper prices went from about $1500/tonne to $9000/tonne - an increase of 600%, not 269%.
If you can't even trust the mines with publicly available data, how can we trust them to correctly list all their profits so they can be taxed? I would say we can't.
and I add that while mining company only pay very little taxes .. and at the same time mining company pay only ridiculous dividends to ZCCM-IH .. where does the money go ?
ReplyDeleteZCCM-IH would have to take 51 % in all mining company !
a good solution.
