Tilwezembe is an open-pit copper and cobalt mine in Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo operated by Katanga Mining, a subsidiary of Glencore.

The mine covers an area of {{convert|7.64|km2|sqmi}}.

It has an indicated nine million tones of ore with 1.89% copper and 0.60% cobalt.

Mining in the Tilwezambe pit has taken place off and on since 1999. At first this was done by the state-owned Gécamines using contract labor. For a while, artesanal miners took over.

In March 2004, Dan Gertler International and Beny Steinmetz Global founded a firm named Global Enterprises Corporate (GEC). In May 2004 GEC signed a preliminary agreement with Gécamines, finalized in September that year, to rehabilitate and operate the Kananga and Tilwezembe mines. The deal was ratified by presidential decree.[1]

In January 2008 Katanga Mining finalized acquisition of Nikanor PLC for $452m.[2]

A joint venture of Katanga Mining (75%) and Gécamines (25%) began mining in 2007.

In November 2008, Katanga Mining said they had temporarily suspended mining and ore processing at the Kolwezi concentrator due to the depressed price of cobalt.[3]
