There are few discoveries that have been as impactful to human development as that of fire.

Fire, and the result of energy transference onto solid and liquid matter to varying effects and degrees, entirely changed the way that we - as a forward thinking and innovative species - have moved ahead, and has spearheaded the way that we have manipulated the environment around us to our benefit and survival for thousands of years.

It has been thanks to this

LEADING THE WAY rudimentary energy source that we have been able to cook food, sterilise water, light settlements and warp materials to our will. Where fire was the root of our revelation, the impact of the raw element on such materials allowed us to realise a breadth of opportunities that lay before us, and when we first mined metal ore, we saw only a greater opportunity to grow and evolve.

2 | Africa Outlook issue 95 An ancient metal key to modern global growth, we take a look at one of Africa’s largest copper producers, Kansanshi Mining PLC, and speak to executive members of the company about its impact on communities, the environment and the globe

Writer: Marcus Kääpä | Project Manager: Joshua Mann

Indeed, copper stands as one of the oldest metals discovered to date (with its use dating back as long ago as 9000 BCE) and was one of the first metals used to make tools, implements, weapons, coins and status objects such as jewellery, followed by other metals such as tin, lead, gold, silver and hardy iron. Both copper and gold, with malleable natures combined with a shining aesthetic, helped forward the already embedded and fledgling concepts of trade and commerce that would themselves birth the first basic markets and lead forward collaborative societal growth and prosperity in later ages.

Today, the use of copper varies, yet it retains its status as a high-value metal all the same.

It is no longer beaten into sharp edges to do battle, nor widely seen as a status symbol when it comes to jewellery but is instead a key component used in a vast array of industries, tools, technologies and necessities of the 21st century world. Durable, malleable and superconductive, copper is present in almost all forms of battery across the globe, which in turn makes it a critical resource to machinery, vehicles and electric motors worldwide.
