The Katanga Supergroup is a Neoproterozoic sequence of geological formations found in central Africa. The formation is well-studied for its rich deposits mined extensively in from the Central African Copperbelt in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Particularly rich outcrops of the of the supergroup occur in eastern Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo where open-pit copper mining has occurred. The Katanga Supergroup correlates with rocks of the in other parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

  • Il supergruppo del Katanga è una sequenza di formazioni geologiche risalenti al Neoproterozoico, che si trova nell'Africa centrale. La formazione è stata molto ben studiata a causa dei ricchi depositi stratiformi di rame e cobalto, oggetto di intensa attività estrattiva nella regione mineraria del Copperbelt situata nello Zambia e nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo.Affioramenti particolarmente ricchi appartenenti al Roan Group si trovano nella parte orientale della Provincia del Katanga, dove sono state aperte numerose miniere a cielo aperto.

  • The Katanga Supergroup is a Neoproterozoic sequence of geological formations found in central Africa. The formation is well-studied for its rich deposits mined extensively in from the Central African Copperbelt in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Particularly rich outcrops of the of the supergroup occur in eastern Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo where open-pit copper mining has occurred. The Katanga Supergroup nonconformably overlies the 883 Ma Nchanga Granite. The Katangan Supergroup is divided into four metasedimentary series, from the oldest siliclastic and dolomitic conglomerates, sandstones, and shales, to of mostly carbonates and carbon-rich shales, to the youngest, upper most including glacial metasediments and a cap carbonate. The Katanga Supergroup correlates with rocks of the in other parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. (en)

Il supergruppo del Katanga si sovrappone con disconformità al granito Nchanga, risalente a 883 milioni di anni fa. (it)
