Mutanda Mine (MUMI)
Mutanda Mining S.A.R.L (MUMI) is a copper-cobalt mine approximately 40km east of Kolwezi in Lualaba Province, DRC. Wholly controlled by Glencore (95% since 2017; 5% transferred to DRC State in 2023 per new Mining Code requirements). Mutanda was historically the world's largest cobalt mine by annual output. Glencore voluntarily suspended Mutanda in August 2019 (cobalt price too low; prices had crashed from $95,000/t peak to under $30,000/t) — the suspension itself caused a cobalt supply shock and brief price recovery. Mutanda restarted in Q4 2021. 2024 cobalt output from Mutanda was approximately 8,000 tonnes, reflecting declining ore grades. Coordinates from latitude.to verified GPS data.
