Congo deploys army to protect China Moly's copper mine from illegal
June 19 (Reuters) - Congo's military has deployed hundreds of soldiers to protect a major copper and cobalt mine owned by China Molybdenum Co Ltd from illegal miners, an army spokesman said on Wednesday.
The Tenke Fungurume mine is one of the largest in Democratic Republic of Congo, which is Africa's leading copper producer and the world's top miner of cobalt, a key component in electric car batteries.
Mining companies operating in Congo, which include Glencore , Ivanhoe and Barrick, routinely say the presence of illegal miners on their properties is one of their greatest challenges. As many as 10,000 diggers have been estimated to operate in and around the Tenke mine.
The army deployed several hundred troops on Tuesday to the Tenke mine, spokesman Colonel Emmanuel Kabamba said.
"The hierarchy decided to deploy soldiers to secure the company because the company contributes to the economy of this country," Kabamba told Reuters.
China Molybdenum did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
