 Population on 20-Oct-00 : 115579 ------------------------------- Luanshya is a town in Zambia, in the Copperbelt Province near Ndola. It has a population of 115,579 (2000 census). Luanshya was founded in the early part of the 20th century after a prospector/explorer, William Collier, shot and killed a Roan Antelope on the banks of the Luanshya River, discovering copper in the process. The antelope fell to the ground, its head resting on a rock where an exposed seam of copper ore was clearly visible. The mining company eventually formed to exploit Collier's find was named "Roan Antelope Copper Mines Ltd". For most of the 20th century, copper was mined in great quantities at Luanshya and other towns which form part of the Copperbelt. Towards the end of the century, mining became increasingly uneconomical, partly because of the prolonged depressed price of copper on world markets, but also because of high levels of corruption and inefficiency in the Zambian administration. Today, Luanshya is en-route to becoming a ghost-town - like countless other remote mining communities whose economies (and very existence) depended entirely on the finite mineral resource upon which they were founded. There is still a fair amount of copper underground at Luanshya. Whether the town sees a revival in its fortunes will depend on how efficiently it is extracted and sold.
