Zambia's Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) has shut down its Nchanga smelter for 21 days for repair work after a molten metal leakage from one of the furnaces, the company said on Tuesday.

There was no loss of life or injuries as a result of Monday's leak and the incident has been reported to the mine safety department, the company's statement said.

"The shutdown period will be used to conduct repairs to the furnace before commencing system heating-up to restart the processing plant," it said.
