La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine KoBold Metals<\/strong> acc\u00e9l\u00e8re ses activit\u00e9s d\u2019exploration mini\u00e8re \u00e0 Manono<\/strong>, dans la province du Tanganyika, o\u00f9 elle recherche notamment du lithium, un minerai strat\u00e9gique pour la transition \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pr\u00e9sente en RDC depuis 2025, l\u2019entreprise s\u2019appuie sur l\u2019intelligence artificielle pour analyser les donn\u00e9es g\u00e9ologiques et orienter ses \u00e9quipes vers les zones pr\u00e9sentant le plus fort potentiel. Ses g\u00e9ologues utilisent notamment des GPS de haute pr\u00e9cision et des tablettes connect\u00e9es \u00e0 des outils d\u2019IA capables de g\u00e9n\u00e9rer des cartes interactives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KoBold dispose actuellement de 14 permis d\u2019exploration couvrant plus de 3 000 km\u00b2 et pr\u00e9voit d\u2019investir plus de 50 millions de dollars en RDC d\u2019ici d\u00e9but 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019IA au service de l\u2019exploration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Depuis avril, les \u00e9quipes de KoBold pr\u00e9l\u00e8vent environ 2 000 \u00e9chantillons de sol par semaine<\/strong>. Les analyses recherchent des signatures g\u00e9ochimiques pouvant r\u00e9v\u00e9ler la pr\u00e9sence de pegmatites, des roches susceptibles de contenir du lithium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ces informations sont crois\u00e9es avec des cartes g\u00e9ologiques historiques, d\u2019anciens r\u00e9sultats de forage et des images satellitaires. L\u2019IA permet ensuite de produire des mod\u00e8les pr\u00e9dictifs afin de mieux cibler les futurs forages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour Benjamin Katabuka<\/strong>, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de KoBold en RDC, les premiers r\u00e9sultats sont \u00ab tr\u00e8s encourageants \u00bb, m\u00eame si aucune estimation des ressources n\u2019a encore \u00e9t\u00e9 rendue publique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un nouvel acteur am\u00e9ricain \u00e0 Manono<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019implantation de KoBold intervient dans le contexte du rapprochement entre Kinshasa et Washington autour des minerais critiques. La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 cherche \u00e0 se positionner dans une r\u00e9gion d\u00e9j\u00e0 convoit\u00e9e par de grands groupes miniers, notamment le chinois Zijin<\/strong>, pr\u00e9sent sur un important projet voisin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KoBold esp\u00e8re ainsi transformer ses d\u00e9couvertes en exploitation commerciale dans les prochaines ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 Manono, les attentes sont fortes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pour les populations locales, l\u2019arriv\u00e9e de ce nouvel investisseur nourrit surtout l\u2019espoir de voir appara\u00eetre des emplois, des infrastructures et des retomb\u00e9es \u00e9conomiques concr\u00e8tes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le territoire reste confront\u00e9 \u00e0 d’importants d\u00e9ficits en infrastructures. L\u2019administrateur du territoire, Cyprien Kitanga<\/strong>, souligne notamment le manque d\u2019eau potable et l\u2019absence d\u2019\u00e9lectrification de plusieurs zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019histoire mini\u00e8re de Manono, marqu\u00e9e notamment par l\u2019exploitation de l\u2019\u00e9tain depuis l\u2019\u00e9poque coloniale, laisse toutefois un h\u00e9ritage contrast\u00e9. Les populations souhaitent d\u00e9sormais que l\u2019exploitation des nouvelles ressources profite davantage au d\u00e9veloppement local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 Manono, KoBold joue donc une double partie : confirmer le potentiel en lithium de ses permis et d\u00e9montrer que l\u2019arriv\u00e9e d\u2019un nouvel acteur minier peut produire des b\u00e9n\u00e9fices visibles pour les communaut\u00e9s locales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
