Kilo-Moto
Kilo-Moto is a region in the far northeast corner of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where gold was discovered in the Ituri River by government prospectors in 1903. Moto is in the Haut-Uele District and Kilo in the Ituri Interim Administration.
Location
Kilo Moto is a semi-continuous greenstone belt in the northeast of the DRC. In the northern part, the Moto Goldmines project has an aggregate lease area of 1,841 square kilometres (711 sq mi), with most activity centered on a 35 square kilometres (14 sq mi) area around the old Durba gold mine. It is possible that as much as 25.7m ounces of gold are present. In the center is the Zani-Kodo area. To the south is the Mongbwalu field, a 10,000 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi) concession to the north and east of Bunia that is mainly owned by AngloGold Ashanti with the DRC parastatal Office des Mines de Kilo Moto (OKIMO) holding a 13.78% interest.
Colonial period
The Kilo mine was opened in 1905 and the Moto mine in 1911. Gold was also extracted by panning the river gravels. In 1919 the government created the Régie Industrielle des Mines de Kilo-Moto, an autonomous body. In 1926 the Régie was converted into a commercial company, the Société des Mines d’Or de Kilo-Moto. Hydroelectric stations were built to power the crushing plants, and by 1930 the two mines, but mostly Kilo, were producing almost 5,000 kilograms (11,000 lb) annually.

by: NazarethI think that you just found me out
... you just found me out
I know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
You think you know me, but what's inside?
Ain't gonna show you, so who am I?
Don't do disclosure, I never tried
Soul Train
On an easy ride
I got no secrets, I tell no lies
But you see through me, to my surprise
I never told you my powders dry
So claimed
I think that you just found me out

I live in limbo, I've got no ties
Just look at me and you'll see no files
Oh it's all out there, there's no disguise
