Lithostratigraphy and tectonics are the major metallogenic parameters in the development of mineralization within the Katangan Basin formations. The structural and lithostratigraphic concept of the Neoproterozoic formations of the Dipeta group can be explained by applying a qualitative method, unfortunately very laborious, to explain this sequentiality of mineralization in the bearing rocks. The Kabulungu deposit is located more or less 25 km south-west of the town of Kolwezi. This litostragraphic and petrographic study shows a special horizontal zonation: shales silicified dolomitic rocks, breaching shales, dolomitic rocks and conglomerate shales. This spatial zonation is in symbiosis with a structure that seems to be monoclinal, locally, notwithstanding the gap in R.4.2. Kabulungu is a brecciated formation with only one major preferential direction of N36 ° E break, this direction being from East to West on the anticline of the same name. The southern flank of the anticline was pushed over the northern flank along the east-west fault affecting the core of the anticline. The tectonic style for the Kabulungu region differs from other sectors only in the extent of the extrusiveness within the Kansuki fault bounded by the north and south lip. The advance of the said fault would have been put in place by an extravase mechanism of subsurface. Finally, the variation of direction following each break zone proves that the terrain of Kabulungu is unstable. The mineralization was deposited in the highly altered zones and in the referential lithological formations.

This work is a understanding of the collision geodynamic context in Katonto (25 km )in the North-West of Kolwezi. Here are presented a detailed petrographic study of the Muva group , the style tectonic and tectonic zonality on a scale of Kolwezi advanced as well as a tectonic interpretation of study area. This career was highlighted the abnormal compressionnal fault contact which separated Kundelungu from the subjacent kibarien as well as the presence of two units (sequences). The kibarian stratiform sedimentary laid out in with iron sulphides, of copper and of cobalt traces . The tectonic constraints related to compressionnal were less has less significant from the west to the east. The reactivation of faults of subjacent kibarien formation would have implemented a tectonic style in the katanguian supergroup which surmounts it. The tectonic style for the area of Kolwezi is distinguished from the other sectors only in the extent of the extrusif phenomenon. The projection of Kolwezi would have been installation by a extrusif mechanism extravase subsurface.
