Copperbelt

The Copperbelt is a region in Central Africa, primarily in Zambia and parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo, known for its rich deposits of copper and other minerals. It is a major hub for copper mining and processing, which drives the local economy. The area has numerous mines, industrial facilities, and cities built around mining activities. Its development has attracted workers and contributed to urban growth. Beyond copper, the region also produces other minerals, making it an important center for Africa’s mineral industry and a key player in global copper supply.
