From mine to market

Mining sites

Find cobalt mines and artisanal sites, then follow their operators, buyers and supporting initiatives.

Sourced geography

The Copperbelt, site by site

Every mining site a public source places, on an OpenStreetMap basemap. A marker's shape shows the kind of evidence behind it, and a dashed ring marks an approximate location. Select a site to read its source and the operators, title holders, cooperatives, buyers and programmes the record links to it.

Arrow keys move the map; the plus and minus keys zoom.

AMBAKUKU

Haut-Katanga · DRC

AMBAKUKU is a site of the mapping of de facto artisanal sites of Haut-Katanga by the provincial directorate of SAEMAPE, the artisanal mining service, in Kambove territory, on title PE 2354. The mapping is a presentation whose file is dated 18 November 2019. It is also listed in IPIS’s open data (visits of 15 May 2019 and 11 September 2020 for BGR’s project).

Biwaya

Lualaba · DRC

Artisanal site in Mutshatsha territory, Lualaba, listed under mining title PE2605 in ITIE-RDC’s 2025 copper-cobalt-sector survey (p.173). The report does not agree with itself about that title: Table 22 gives PE2605, Table 27 gives PE11229 and Annex II gives PE9687/PE11229. All three are given here, without resolving the conflict. That register shows who occupies a title, not who owns or operates it, and establishes neither current production, nor workforce, nor the site-specific copper/cobalt split, which is unresolved. The same report pairs this site with the cooperative COMIALU, which is how it is connected on the sector map.

It is also listed in ITIE-RDC’s study of 15 July 2025 and the SAEMAPE list of ITIE-RDC’s report of March 2023 (heading “Non toléré”). The 2025 study prints title PE 2128.

Bridon

Lualaba · DRC

Bridon is a named artisanal copper-cobalt site in Lualaba. ITIE-RDC’s 2025 Table 22 places it beneath the shared PE4958 GCM row in Mutshatsha; CAMI’s active-rights register at 31 March 2026 lists Gécamines as holder of PE 4958 and locates the title in Kolwezi and Mutshatsha. CARTOMINES row 8 also reports PE 4958 and Gécamines, but gives the site territory as Kolwezi. The site-level territory remains unresolved across these records. ITIE-RDC’s 2025 Annex II leaves the permit unknown and lists “KAZADI SONY” under cooperatives; its legal identity and current standing are not established here. No current operation or buyer relationship is inferred.

Industrial copper-cobalt mine in Lualaba. CNMC's own resource-development page calls Deziwa the group's largest standalone overseas copper-cobalt investment (the company's characterisation, which does not establish sole ownership). USGS's 2024 mineral industry review associates the copper and cobalt exports of Somidez, the operating company, with the mine, and RAID and CAJJ's July 2025 report on workers' rights lists China Nonferrous Metal Mining Company's Somidez mine among the operations it examines.

Etoile

Haut-Katanga · DRC

Industrial open-cast copper-cobalt mine near Lubumbashi in Haut-Katanga, operated by Chemaf, which on its own site calls it one of the largest open-cast copper-cobalt operations in the DRC (the company's characterisation, not an independent ranking). Under a January 2022 transaction, Trafigura took the marketing of all cobalt hydroxide produced from the Chemaf-operated Etoile and Mutoshi assets. Its operating status is reported two ways: Lloyds Metals and Energy's 30 March 2026 filing on the completed acquisition of the Chemaf group lists Etoile as operating; Semafor reported on 29 July 2026 that the miner remained out of production with Etoile, its main operating plant, still shut.
