At a glance
Mutanda Mining S.A.R.L (MUMI) is a producer of copper and cobalt based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, around 40 km east of the town of Kolwezi in the Lualaba Province.
Our operations comprise of three open pit mines that provide all the raw ore that feeds our copper and cobalt production facilities.
In 2017, MUMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glencore, one of the world’s largest diversified natural resource companies. In 2023, Glencore finalised the process of transferring 5 % of its shareholding in MUMI to the DRC government as required by the Mining Law and Regulations. In November 2019, we entered a period of care and maintenance to reassess the potential of our deposits to better plan for the future. In October 2021 we began the phased reopening of our operations, processing ore from existing stockpiles with a view of resuming full mining activity by 2024.
Our vision
Our vision is to become an industry leader in the DRC in the safe, responsible and efficient production of copper and cobalt.
We strive to be a business that contributes to the economic and social development of the DRC and a place of work that our people are proud of.
