🚨🇨🇩 Congo clamps down on cobalt, repurposes unused quotas
Congo will withdraw unused cobalt export quotas and reassign them to a state-controlled "strategic quota," mining regulator ARECOMS announced.
🟠 The reallocated volumes will no longer remain in private hands but will instead be channeled into projects designated as being of "national interest"—with a strong emphasis on domestic processing and value-added production within Congolese borders.
🟠 The policy shift lands squarely on the world’s top two cobalt producers: China’s CMOC and Switzerland’s Glencore, both of which depend on Congo for over 70% of global supply. With supply already constrained, cobalt prices have surged 160% since February, now trading at roughly $26 per pound.
👉 Cobalt is highly valued for its exceptional thermal stability, resistance to corrosion, and ferromagnetic properties. It is a vital component in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles, smartphones, laptops, wind turbines and industrial motors.
