Mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has largely been dependent on cobalt, diamonds, gold and copper, which are mined by Artisanal and Small- Scale Mining (ASM) operations. These operations employ around 12.5 million people. The future of mining in the country relies on the vast amount of minerals that are yet to be tapped into.
According to Africa Mining IQ (AMIQ), Tenke Fungurume II project is the largest copper mine in the DRC. Although the project mentions bi-minerals such as cobalt, mining in the DRC is dependent on this type of copper extraction.
We currently track mining projects and mines in the region across all stages of development. Among these projects is the Kinsevere Mine, located 30 km north of Lubumbashi, in the Kipushi Territory in the Katanga Province. Owned by MMG Limited, this is one of the most important copper mines in the world, comprising 3 stratiform deposits in alternating dolomitic and terrigenous formations.

The DRC is the world’s largest producer of copper, possessing some of the richest copper belts in the world. It is also the biggest producer of cobalt, and the second largest producer of diamonds. It also has rich deposits of gold, zinc, tin and potash.
Africa Mining IQ is the ONLY African online portal for mining intelligence that guarantees a comprehensive key contact per mine owner/ project engineer and project consultant. All African mining projects and mines are carefully researched and verified by a team of project-co-ordinators.
With untapped deposits of cobalt, diamonds, gold, copper and other minerals, the DRC is a key mining destination, with a large number of mining companies operating across the country.
Mining companies in the Democratic Republic of Congo include both large, international mining houses and Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining companies (ASM).
