Mapping of the Artisanal Copper-Cobalt Mining Sector in the Provinces of Haut-Katanga and Lualaba in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The BGR organized an inventory and analysis of the national artisanal copper-cobalt sector by means of an ASM mine survey carried out in the DRC's key cobalt-producing provinces of Lualaba and Haut-Katanga in April and May 2019. The survey was conducted by the multi-stakeholder field teams comprising the BGR, the Carter Center and the Congolese artisanal mining authority, SAEMAPE. Field teams were deployed to register data from a total of 102 artisanal mines producing copper and cobalt, 58 of which eventually provided detailed administrative and socio-economic data.
