The collapse of a mountain in the DR Congo has unexpectedly uncovered a vast reserve of copper, totalling tonnes, which is anticipated to attract significant investment and mining activity to the area, potentially transforming the region’s economic landscape.
A mountain collapsed in Katanga region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, revealing tonnes of copper.
Several social media users reacted to the viral video; some users questioned the poverty in Africa, whereas some hoped that the Western countries would not interfere.
“But remains one of the poorest country in Africa ,I really don’t know why,” wrote one user. Another user commented, “But the west will not allow any African country to enjoy their resources.”
The Katanga region of DR Congo is known for its rich mineral resources. It lies in the copper belt of Africa, a 450km stretch that extends from northwest Luanshya, Zambia, to Katanga in Congo.
