Fundu Nzobe phosphate resources in the Lower River district are estimated at 70 million gross tonnes with an average P2O5 content of 27%. At Kanzi, the same resources are estimated at 25 million tonnes with an average P2O5 content of 17%. At Vangu, they are estimated at 20 million tonnes with 22% of P2O5.

The existence of significant iron deposits has been recognized in Orientale Province, Kasai, and Katanga. Reserves in Orientale Province and Kasai deposits are estimated at several million tons. Manganese, on the other hand, appears as an accessory element in many mineral associations. The Kasekelessa and Kisenge deposits are the largest (reserves estimated at 14 million tons).

Tin products, namely cassiterite, coltan and wolframite, commonly known as 3T (Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten), come from the Eastern Provinces, specifically Maniema, North Kivu, South Kivu, Haut-Katanga, Haut-Lomami, Lualaba and Tanganyika.

The country also has significant lithium reserves. In the medium and long term, the DRC's economic potential is enormous, with the development of lithium batteries in the automotive industry and advanced technologies. 

As the DRC's main source of foreign currency, international price movements are closely monitored by experts. However, miners are more interested in the long-term outlook, given the mine's operating life. On this specific point, the outlook is quite good, with nickel and lithium mining following strong demand. The rise in global demand for certain strategic products such as cobalt, copper, nickel, and lithium must be the key element in a sound analysis of the mining sector's outlook. The DRC will play an important role in the global ecological transition that began in recent years.
