Lualaba Province, Mining province in southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo
Lualaba Province extends over 121,308 square kilometers of mineral-rich terrain, with Kolwezi serving as its administrative center and economic core.
The province emerged from the 2015 division of Katanga into four distinct regions, continuing the legacy of mineral extraction dating back to colonial times.
French functions as the official language while Kiswahili maintains strong regional importance among the 3.2 million inhabitants of Lualaba Province.
The province contains multiple copper mines and processing facilities, connected by transport networks that facilitate mineral exportation through southern Africa.
The Lualaba River forms natural boundaries within the province, dropping through waterfalls and rapids as it descends from the Katanga to Manika plateaus.
