Reference excerpt

Limestone Resources Limited (LRL), formerly known as Ndola Lime Company Limited (NLC), is a limestone products producing company in Zambia. It is located in Masaiti at about 10 km south east of Ndola. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of ZCCM-Investments Holdings. The company was founded in 1931 and is still operational.

History In July 2017, a joint venture between Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Investment Holdings and China's Sinoconst was announced to construct a US$528 million 1.85Mta Cement plant at the Ndola Lime Company in Masaiti, with a target to be operational by the first quarter of 2020. Ndola Lime Company Limited became insolvent in 2018. Under a restructuring plan, a successor company, Limestone Resources Limited (LRL), was created in 2020. In August 2020, there were rumours surrounding the sale of a majority stake of the company to Global Human Benefit Zambia Ltd. (GHBZ) when an article appeared on GHBZ's website. ZCCM Investments Holdings dispelled the rumour and the article was subsequently removed from the GHBZ website.

Operations ZCCM Investments Holdings owns 100% of Limestone Resources Limited. The company produces quicklime, hydrated lime, limestone and agricultural lime and supplies within Zambia, SADC and COMESA regions.

Finances In 2016, the company reported total revenues for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2016 of ZMW 196.6 million and a loss after tax of ZMW 82 3million. In 2017, the company reported total revenues for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2017 of ZMW 89.6 million and a loss after tax of ZMW 1,163.0 million. In 2018, the company reported total revenues for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2018 of ZMW 60.1 million and a loss after tax of ZMW 190 million. In 2019, the company reported total revenues for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2019 of ZMW 74.3 million and a loss after tax of ZMW 234 million.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Limestone Resources Limited

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Limestone Resources Limited claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Limestone Resources Limited before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Limestone Resources Limited ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Limestone Resources Limited

In research: Limestone Resources Limited appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Limestone Resources Limited in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Limestone Resources Limited is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics African company stubs, Limestone industry, Mining companies of Zambia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Limestone Resources Limited outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
