A general view shows the Kilembe mines, in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, 497km (309 miles) west of Uganda's capital Kampala, January 31, 2013. The Kilembe copper-cobalt mine operated from 1956 to 1972, when it closed due to a drop in world copper prices and now lay in ruins. Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has promised to rehabilitate the Kilembe mines. REUTERS/James Akena (UGANDA - Tags: ENVIRONMENT BUSINESS COMMODITIES EMPLOYMENT)
