XIMEI Resources interested in Lweshe Mines for Niobium production in DRC
The takeover of the Lweshe Mine in Rusthuru at the center of exchanges between the DRC Minister of Mines and the delegation of the company XIMEI resource.
The DRC Minister of Mines Antoinette N’SAMBA KALAMBAYI received on Thursday, January 27, 2022 in the meeting room of her cabinet a delegation of the company Ximei Resources led by the National Deputy François Nzekuye, elected from Rutshuru. This company specialising in the exploitation of Niobium is interested in taking over the activities of the Lweshe Mines located in the Rutshuru territory in North Kivu Province.
The Lweshe mine was operated in previous years by SOMIKIVU and was deposed in 2017.
MP Nzekuye believes that the takeover of this mine will maximize revenues on behalf of the public treasury, at the same time bring peace to this part of the country plagued by armed groups.
For the representative of the company Ximei resource the production of Niobium will be able to register the DRC on the map of the countries producing this mineral.
Very receptive to the concern of the delegation of the company Ximei resource, the boss of the mines Antoinette N’samba Kalambayi put the team at the disposal of the competent services of the ministry for a thorough examination of the project with a view to its completion.
