The Dikulushi mine is a copper and silver mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is located some {{convert|23|km|mi}} west of Lake Mweru and {{convert|50|km|mi}} north of Kilwa in the Moero Sector of Pweto Territory, Katanga Province.

The leading DRC copper company Anvil Mining brought the site into production in October 2002 with some 10% Community Trust involvement. The mine has a total of 481,000 tonnes of proven mineral reserves and over 650,000 estimated.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}

While the mine was operational, heavy trucks carrying concentrate crossed Lake Mweru on a large motorised pontoon ferry from Kilwa to Nchelenge, a distance of {{convert|44|km|mi}}, from where they drove {{convert|2500|km|mi}} to a copper smelter in Tsumeb, Namibia.[1]

In October 2004 there was a small-scale uprising in Kilwa which was brutally suppressed by FARDC soldiers of the 62nd Brigade.

Anvil Mining Congo was accused of providing logistical support to the troops.[2]

The company published a statement by the Traditional Chiefs of Moero Sector that firmly denied any involvement by Anvil in the massacre and that praised the company for the benefits it had brought to the region.[3]

As of December 4, 2008, Anvil had placed Dikulushi Mine on "Care and Maintenance" due to the low prices of copper.

In March 2010, Anvil sold the mine to Mawson West Limited.

The transfer would let Anvil focus on its larger copper projects, including the Kinsevere Stage II project expected to start commissioning early in 2011 and to produce 60,000 tonnes annually.[4]

Mawson West reopened the Dikulushi mine in July 2010.[5]
