The four mining companies MMR, Chemaf Minaf, Ceprodev and Coomitu Cooperative operating mines in this area don't count on the local production of three careers Manono-center. According to the radio, it is the "Dragon" career that has produced 20 tons of cassiterite and coltan 40, Ngobo career that produced ten tons of cassiterite and coltan and seven career of Djibende provided 20 tons of cassiterite and coltan 3. The radio reported that the large-scale production of cassiterite, coltan and Wolfarmite comes from sectors Katonge and Kiyambi east of Manono and Luvua and Nyemba north.
The radio also said that the decline of the price of minerals including cassiterite kilogram increased from 7,000 Congolese francs (5, 8 USD) 5,000 Congolese francs (5, 5 USD) also discourages artisanal miners in Manono who prefer to migrate to Malemba Nkulu, 700 km from Lubumbashi.
