Kula, in partnership with Bekazulu Mining, is developing a high-value limestone concession in Ukwimi, Zambia. This project integrates blockchain-based governance, sustainable resource management, and local economic empowerment, ensuring transparency, profitability, and long-term impact.  

Project Overview

The limestone concession spans 362.2 hectares and holds an estimated 6.6 million tons of high-quality limestone, primarily used for quicklime production, a key component in the copper industry. Geological assessments confirm the resource’s high-grade composition, making it a strategic asset in Zambia’s industrial and mining sectors.

Kula holds a 14% equity stake in the project, ensuring that revenue flows into sustainable governance structures that benefit both investors and local communities.  

Sustainability and Community Impact

1. Water Security
Kula has ensured sustainable water access for both mining operations and local communities. This initiative replaces the current aquifer system, mitigating water stress and ensuring long-term environmental balance.  
2. Community Development
Through Second Future, the humanitarian arm of GTD Mining, revenue from the project is reinvested into employment, healthcare, education, and agriculture in surrounding communities.  
3. Blockchain Transparency
A RegionalDAO structure enables equitable profit-sharing, decentralized decision-making, and long-term sustainability, ensuring local communities have a voice in resource governance.  
This is not just a mining project - it’s a model for sustainable, inclusive development. By merging blockchain governance with natural resource management, Kula is pioneering a new era of responsible investment and community-driven economic growth in Zambia.
