In order to study the metallogenic characteristics and the distribution rule of deposit in Katanga of Congo (D��C)��the authors analyzed the characteristics of remote sensing images by means of ETM + data as the main information source��and interpreted strata��rock mass and structures in this area�� Five tectonic image units were divided��including the Sandoa- Kaniama stable area in the west��image unit of NE tectonic zone in the middle�� Pweto - - Kalemie image unit in the northeast��image units of Lufilian foreland in the southeast and Lufilian arcuate tectonic belt in the south�� Through analyzing and summaring main structural types��metallogenic characteristics�� ore-controlling factors and regional stress state in each image unit��the regional tectonic framework in Katanga Prov- ince was recognized�� The major faults which control rocks and ores were distinguished��and mineralization geolog- ical background in the studied area was basically identified�� On this basis��combining with relevant data of geology and mineral resources��the authors delimitated 7 target areas of mineral exploration��including Mokambo Cu ore predicting area��Mumena Pb- - Zn ore predicting area��Kansuki Cu- - Co ore predicting area��Mudinga Cu- - Ag ore pre- dicting area��Kavabala and Kungui Cu ore predicting areas��
