Mining site

Kamimbi

Artisanal copper-cobalt site named Kamimbi on PE1079 in the ITIE-RDC site fiche, where CMDT is named as cooperative. The 2025 report's Lualaba survey repeats Kamimbi and its analysis calls CCR a reported destination for ore from this site; CCR declared no artisanal feed, which the consultant could not confirm. No site point is supplied.

Reported supply
ITIE-RDC's 2025 artisanal report identifies CCR as a reported destination of ore from Kamimbi. The report also records CCR's contrary declaration of no artisanal feed, which its consultant could not confirm. The link is contested and unquantified.
