The Roan Antelope, 12 monthly bound issues in one volume for the year 1954, Roan Antelope Copper Mine, Zambia,  1954, hardcover, complete, 22 cms x 28 cms x 3.1 cms, small tear to cloth on spine otherwise condition: very good.

Roan Antelope is a copper mine in Zambia. The deposits were discovered in 1902, but their full extent was not understood until 1926. The mine site was developed between 1927 and 1931 and production since then has experienced various slumps and booms.  The mine's name is said to have been given by William Collier, a prospector and explorer, who shot and killed a roan antelope in 1902 beside the Luanshya River. When he went up to the animal he found its head was lying on a rock that contained a visible seam of copper ore. The next day he shot a rietbok nearby, and found another source of copper which became the Rietbok claim. These stories, given by A. Chester Beatty in a 1931 speech to the American Institute of Mining Engineers, may be taken for what they are worth. ] In 1957 the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother visited the Roan Antelope Copper mine. She wore a white coat and a miner's helmet with lamp as she watched mining activity and shook hands with longtime miners.
