JOHANNESBURG, June 2 (Reuters) - Ivanhoe Mines IVN.TO said on Monday it plans to restart a section of its Kakula copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo later this month, which was temporarily closed after underground seismic activities.

The Canadian miner temporarily stopped operations at the Kakula mine, part of its giant Kamoa-Kakula copper mining complex, after  tremors, which also damaged infrastructure and caused flooding underground.
