(i) Etoile Mine (license number 577)
The Etoile mine is a stratiform copper-cobalt deposit. The form of the Etoile deposit resembles that of many of the near-surface oxide deposits of the southern Katanga region. There is an enlarged oxide cap some 50m in thickness overlying an inclined stratiform sulphide deposit.
