Mining in DRC

Mining in DRC

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.
