Katanga Mining Ltd was a mining company operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with its headquarters in Canada.

Katanga Mining formed two joint-venture projects with state-owned Gécamines to develop the mining complex: Kamoto Copper Company (KCC) and DRC Copper and Cobalt Project (DCP).
