'''Chingola''' is a city in Zambia's [[Copperbelt Province]], the country's [[copper extraction|copper-mining]] region, with a population of 157,340 (2008 census). It is the home of Nchanga Copper Mine, a deep-shaft high-grade content copper mining operation, which subsequently (in the 1960s) led to the development of two open pit operations, Chingola Open Pit and then Nchanga Open Pit (the latter being the second largest open cast mine in the world). | '''Chingola''' is a city in Zambia's [[Copperbelt Province]], the country's [[copper extraction|copper-mining]] region, with a population of 157,340 (2008 census).
