 | | 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. |
