Cooperative

COMIALU

Congolese artisanal mining cooperative. ITIE-RDC's 2025 copper-cobalt governance report names it in its May 2025 table of Lualaba cooperatives against two workings in Mutshatsha territory, Menuiserie and Biwaya, both on Gécamines titles, and names it again among the cooperatives listed for Biwaya in the report's annex of sites to be monitored. The listing implies neither exclusive control nor ownership, and the report establishes no production, workforce or commodity figure that this hub carries for the cooperative. The spelling is the report's own; the same table lists COMIAU separately, and the two are not merged here.
