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.
The region has been known for large-scale copper mining for more than a century. In the 1950s, it was the world's largest copper-producing area. (MINT)
