...were waiting for shipment at Dar. Shipping delays and subsequent storage charges have seriously hurt Zambia's mining industry, which is already suffering from the effects of low copper prices.

Two months ago, Chairman John Riccardo was telling legislators that the company would need some federal assistance by early next year, but last week's long awaited announcement of the company's $207 million second-quarter loss has compressed that timetable.
