The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has impounded and seized a truck for attempting to smuggle Lithium ore, one of Zambia`s strategic minerals at Kazungula Border Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ZRA Cooperate Communications Manager, Oliver Nzala, says the exporters declared exporting 29 tons of Silica Sands worth K18, 600, when in fact the truck was carrying Lithium Ore of 1.71% worth K296, 000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Nzala has disclosed that the exporter, whose name has been withheld, has since been charged K90, 000 for false declaration of the export mineral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has also disclosed that further investigations have been instituted but preliminaries indicate that the mineral was loaded at an unnamed mine in Eastern province and was destined for China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
