  THE MINERALS OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
The primary mineralization is rich in germanium with renierite and briartite.
Finally, at the University of Louvain (U.C.L.), Jacques Thoreau (1886-1973) describes, in 1932, the saleeite of Shinkolobwe in Shaba, while his successor Jules Moreau acquires fame by his study on the copper-zinc-bearing deposit of Kipushi, which enables him to describe a new germanium mineral, briartite.
Two other holotypes, eylettersite and kivuite, are preserved in the private collection of the discoverer, while 14 other type species belong to collections of various institutions from abroad:
