About CBK Holding
Distinguished at the forefront of innovation and excellence in mining, civil engineering, and construction supply since 2001.
Who We Are
CBK Holding & Mineral Resources Limited is a distinguished holding entity at the forefront of innovation and excellence in the mining, civil engineering, and construction supply sectors.
Founded in 2023, with operational subsidiaries established as early as 2001, we have grown to encompass a diverse portfolio of subsidiary companies. Our holdings reflect an unwavering commitment to versatility, growth, and technical leadership in the global marketplace.
In the past year, CBK Holding signed a landmark USD 1 billion project finance agreement with Bootup Africa as a strategic investor in our gold processing division — exclusively earmarked for the deployment of 100 modular gold processing plants across the country. Active logistics are already underway with 36 trucks currently en route carrying equipment for the first 6 processing plants.
Concurrently, CBK Holding has secured a preliminary commitment from a second investor for a minimum of USD 2.5 billion in the current fiscal year, allocated toward rapid development of five priority ores — Graphite, Copper Cathodes, Gold, Iron Ore, and Manganese — and channelled through the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprise Development (SMED) via fund manager ZICB.
With active projects valued at over USD 90 million in partnership with Lubambe Mines and ZCCM Investments Holdings, and a growing pipeline exceeding USD 3.5 billion in committed and pledged investment, CBK Holding is strategically positioned as a leading force in Zambia's mining and mineral processing landscape.
