Copper in Africa
Overview of ore deposits and extraction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Copper is one of the world's most important industrial minerals, and Africa is an important world producer. While output is traditionally dominated by Zambia, South Africa and Katanga Province in the south of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, many African nations contribute to copper production, and many African nations have undeveloped ore resources. [citation needed]
Cobalt, another important industrial metal, is often mined in conjunction with copper.
