For the history of large-scale copper mining in Northern Rhodesia five periods are discerned: 1) 1924-1929: Initial development and capital formation; 2) 1929-1939: World depression; rearmament; 3) 1939-1949: World War II and aftermath; 4) 1949-1956: Boom: sterling devaluation and US stockpiling; 5) 1956-1964: Price fluctuation; diversification of mining investment.
