The bulk of the money went into copper assets and more specifically copper (and cobalt) projects in Africa with China Moly’s 2016 acquisition of the Tenke Fungurume mine from Freeport for $2.65 billion and Zijin Mining’s joint venture with Ivanhoe Mines on the Kamoa-Kakula copper project two high-profile examples, both of which are located in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
