Minister of Mines, Kizito Pakapomba, conducted a pivotal working visit to Fungurume on August 17th, reinforcing the government’s commitment to the mining sector and its role in national development. This visit, part of an ongoing series of inspections, serves as a crucial mechanism for assessing the operations of mining companies and their contributions to local communities.
A key focus of the minister's visit was the inauguration of a new morgue, a critical infrastructure project that will significantly enhance healthcare services in the region. This facility is a precursor to a larger general reference hospital, a testament to the government's dedication to improving the well-being of its citizens. By addressing the immediate healthcare needs of the community, the government demonstrates its commitment to social responsibility and human development.
The visit to the 30K plant at Tenke Fungurume Mining (TFM) was another highlight. This state-of-the-art facility, once fully operational, will propel the DRC into a position of global dominance in copper and cobalt production. By supporting such large-scale investments, the government is strategically positioning the country as a key player in the burgeoning green energy sector, where copper and cobalt are essential components. This increased production will not only bolster the national economy but also generate substantial revenue for critical social and infrastructure development projects.
Minister Pakapomba's visit to Fungurume underscores the government's dual objectives of maximizing the economic potential of the country's mineral resources and ensuring that these benefits are shared equitably among the population. Through strategic investments in mining infrastructure and community development, the DRC is charting a path towards sustainable growth and prosperity.
