DIRECTORS' QUARTERLY SUMMARY

During the quarter ended 31 December 2003 the ZCCM-IH Group recorded a turnover
of K27,129 million, representing a decline of 8.7% from the K29,708 million
recorded in the quarter ended 31 December 2002.

However, over the same period, the Group achieved a reduction of 15.1% in
operating expenditure to K23 661million from K27,874million. This contributed
positively to the net operating profit of the Group, which increased by 89.1% to
K3,468 million from the K1,834 million recorded for the quarter ended 31
December 2002.

A lower profit aftertax of K58,008 million was recorded during the quarter
compared to a profit of K69,055 million for the quarter ended 31 December 2002.
The significant reduction in exchange gains during the quarter under review
contributed to a lower profit comparative to December 2002.

Subsequent to the quarter end, the negotiations regarding the KCM preferred
Strategic Equity Partner, Sterlite Industries Limited, acting through its
holding company, Vedanta Resources Plc, has reached an advanced stage and a
Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 6 March 2004 in
Johannesburg, South Africa.  The expected completion of the sale of RAMCOZ
assets has yet to be finalized.

Mr G P Mukala has appointed Mr R D Nyambose as his permanent AlternateDirector.


                             By Order of the Board
