The Kamoto Mine (French: La mine de Kamoto) is an underground copper and cobalt mine to the west of Musonoi in the former Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2] As of 2022, the site is the largest active cobalt mine in the world.[3] The mine includes the Luilu metallurgical plant, which accepts ore from KOV mine and Mashamba East mine. The plant has polluted the Luilu River, and tailings also pollute the region with wind-blown dust. The Kolwezi Tailings Project is an attempt to recover additional metal from these tailings.
The exploitation rights are owned by the Kamoto Copper Company (KCC), a joint venture between Katanga Mining (75%) and the state-owned Gécamines (25%).[4] Katanga Mining is now owned by Glencore.
