The KOV mine is the largest high-grade copper resource in the world. It comprises four ore bodies, Kamoto East, Oliveira, Virgule and FNSR, accessed via two pits, Kamoto East and KOV. The Kamoto East pit was operational from 1960 to 1985 and the adjacent KOV pit from 1983 onwards, both under the auspices of the DRC’s state-owned mining company Gécamines.
