The Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) copper production is expected to grow moderately in 2025, supported by efficiency gains at key operations such as the Mutanda, Tenke Fungurume Mining (TFM) and Kinsevere, although this growth will be partially offset by production disruptions at the Kamoa-Kakula complex following temporary flooding. In 2026, output is forecast to increase strongly with an annual growth rate of 6% to reach 3,404.1kt, as operations normalise at Kamoa-Kakula, restoring volumes lost i ...
