LOCAS Portal User Guide
Your step-by-step guide to the Local Content Assessment System
Welcome to LOCAS
The Local Content Assessment System (LOCAS) is the official portal used by mining companies in Zambia to report and track compliance with SI 2025 — the Geological and Minerals Development (Preference for Zambian Goods and Services) Regulations.
LOCAS covers four key areas of local content reporting:
Procurement
Report what your company buys and from whom — tracking local versus non-local spend.
Employment
Report your workforce numbers — local staff, expatriates, gender, and disability inclusion.
Suppliers
Manage your supplier database and track their local content classification.
Supplier Development
Plan and track programmes to develop the capacity of local suppliers.
In Short
LOCAS is where you submit all your local content reports to the Ministry. Everything is done online — no paper forms needed.
