Copper is one of the world's most important industrial minerals, and Africa is a major producer. Production is led by Zambia, South Africa, and Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but many African countries mine copper and have more untapped ore resources.

Cobalt, another important metal, is often mined together with copper.

Kinusi copper mine, Tanzania: Marula Mining Plc holds 75% of 10 primary mining licences through an agreement with Takela Mining Limited. The licences cover Kinusi in the Mpwapwa District, Dodoma Region, central Tanzania, and are valid for seven years. Marula says Kinusi could become a key part of its growing portfolio of battery and strategic metals projects.
