Visiting one of Africa's most endowed precious gem stones countries in Africa

Most of the country’s copper operations are in the province of Katanga — it’s known for its vast mineral resources, which also include cobalt, tin, uranium and diamonds. Katanga is located on the Central African Copper belt, the world’s largest and most prolific mineralized sediment-hosted copper belt.
The mining industry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo plays a significant role in the world's supply of cobalt, copper, diamond, tantalum, tin, gold and produces over 70% of globally produced cobalt. It is the Democratic Republic of the Congo's largest source of export income.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is widely known to be the wealthiest country in the world, in untapped resource wealth and has an estimated US$24 trillion in untapped mineral deposits, including the world's largest reserves of coltan (where elements niobium and tantalum are extracted) and significant quantities of the world's cobalt and lithium. The DRC has abundant water from the world's second largest river, the Congo, a mild climate, rich soil makes it fertile and beneath the soil an abundance. These mineral reserves are of global importance.
The country holds vast quantities of the minerals that will be critical drivers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). In 2018 studies reported a significant high-grade lithium deposit, estimated to have the potential of 1.5 billion tons of lithium spodumene hard rock situated in Manono, central DRC. Mining lithium in the DRC is expected to have global significance with the upsurge of the electric vehicle (EV) battery industry, allowing the DRC to further tap its vast mineral wealth.
