The gold series: in case you missed last night
Zambia is finding gold.
north-western province. mumbwa in central province. mpongwe in the copperbelt. luapula province. eastern province. across the country, in geological formations ranging from the same proterozoic basement that hosts the copper deposits to greenstone belt geology of the kind that has produced major gold deposits across zimbabwe and tanzania, systematic exploration is returning gold anomalies, drill intersections, and confirmation of mineralisation that artisanal miners and colonial-era prospectors already knew was there.
gold is currently trading above USD 3,300 per troy ounce. it has held above USD 3,000 through the first quarter of 2026.
zambia is finding gold at the moment in history when gold is worth more than it has ever been.
the copper story is known. the emerald story is becoming known. the gold story is at the beginning of being told.
tonight — part one of the gold series. the value of gold. why this metal has held the attention and the savings and the trust of human civilisations for five thousand years. and what that means for a country that is only now beginning to understand what it has. ✨
