Congo’s South Kivu governor suspends mining operations in province
The decision will hit artisanal miners of metals such as gold and tin hard, as they are the region's dominant producers.

The mine will produce 6 metric tons of gold a year, the mines ministry said in a presentation, without giving further details.
