LUSAKA, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Zambia's largest copper producerplans to start purchasing copper concentrate from the FrontierMine in the Congo and has taken new measures to cut productioncosts, company officials were quoted as saying. KCM's Vice President of Finance Vinod Bhandawat said themining firm, majority owned by London-listed Vedanta Resources(VED.L) was about to sign a deal to purchase all of Chibuluma'scopper concentrate, but no figures were given. "We are looking for substantial quantities of concentratesfrom Kansanshi and Frontier to balance the capacity of our newsmelter," Bhandawat was quoted as saying in the internalpublication, Konkola News, obtained by Reuters on Tuesday. "(About) 25,000 dry metric tonnes will give us about 7,500tonnes of copper (cathode) every month," he said. The Nchanga smelter plant, currently undergoingcommissioning, suffered setbacks nearly a fortnight ago when atechnical fault forced KCM to temporarily suspend operations. Purchasing concentrates from other mines is one of manyprojects that KCM plans to raise copper output to 500,000 tonnesin 2010 from projected production of 200,000 in 2008. 
KCM also operates the Konkola and Nchanga open pit mines,Nkana smelter and the satellite Fitwaola mine. The firm is currently developing the Konkola Deep MiningProject (KDMP), which is due to come onstream in 2010 and willproduce 150,000 tonnes copper per year. KCM said it had embarked on an aggressive cost-savingprogramme which yielded savings of $3 million between Septemberand November 2008. Costs that averaged $10 million per month were down to $7.48million in November and KCM planned to reduce costs to $6.5million by December, the newsletter quoted the general managerfor Nkana smelter, David Ng'andu, as saying. Ng'andu said KCM also reduced reliance on diesel to fire theacid plant by switching to heavy fuel oils and limited the useof coal in daily production while introducing strict financialcontrols. Zambia is Africa's largest copper producer and the coppermines are a major employer and the country's economic mainstay. (Reporting By Shapi Shacinda, Editing by Peter Blackburn) Congo.
