The Swiss-based mining company, Glencore, has said it will pay $180m (£147m) to the Democratic Republic of Congo to settle corruption claims.
The agreement covers an 11-year period from 2007 to 2018.
It is the latest in a series of corruption cases which has seen Glencore agree to pay out more than $1.6bn in fines this year.
In May it admitted bribing officials in several African nations including DR Congo (DRC).
Despite the fines Glencore is expected to make record profits of around $3.2bn this year.
