Do they mine gold in Zambia?

Yes, gold is mined in Zambia. In fact, Zambia is one of the largest producers of gold in Africa, and the eighth-largest in the world. The country has a long history of gold mining, and the industry is a major contributor to the country's economy.

Gold is found in a number of locations in Zambia, but the most significant deposits are located in the Copperbelt region, in the north-central part of the country. Other areas where gold is found include the North-Western Province and the Eastern Province.

The majority of gold mining in Zambia is done by large-scale mining operations, but there is also a significant small-scale mining sector. Small-scale miners use traditional methods, such as panning and sluicing, to extract gold from the ground.

The gold mining industry in Zambia is facing a number of challenges, including declining ore grades, increasing costs, and power shortages. However, the government is committed to supporting the industry, and it is expected to continue to be a major contributor to the country's economy for many years to come.
