EGC explored Kanunka in 2024 under the same Gécamines sublease, taking 111 samples; C4D's paper records that Tombolo was chosen over it as the pilot.
En collaboration avec Cobalt for Development (C4D), financé par BASF, BMW, Samsung SDI, STIHL et Volkswagen Group, EGC a lancé un programme d'exploration
avec des pics atteignant respectivement 28 400 ppm et 16 600 ppm
