Explanation

The Katanga (or Shaba) province in the Democratic Republic of Congo has historically been one of the world's most important copper and cobalt mining regions, with significant gold production as well. The Copperbelt region extends into Zambia but Katanga is specifically in DRC. South Africa and Zimbabwe have different mining profiles, and Zambia's Copperbelt is adjacent to but distinct from Katanga.
