In what must be the highest price for "development" so far, mining firm Randgold Resources recently announced that it is to begin mining Africa's largest undeveloped gold deposit - in chaotic eastern DR Congo.

The mine is thought to have a reserve of about 320 tonnes of gold and it is as big as any of the current mines in South Africa.
