Non-Ferrous Metals
We are one of the world’s leading suppliers of cobalt – a metal in rising demand, thanks to its use in batteries for electric vehicles and portable electronics. We hold long term agreements, exclusive rights with producers.
We produce cobalt mainly as a by-product of copper mining in Zambia.
Uses of cobalt
Cobalt looks set to become one of the most essential commodities in delivering the electric vehicle revolution – thanks to rising demand for the metal in the batteries that power them.
It is also used as a superalloy in aircraft engines, and in cemented carbides, which are often used as hard cutting surfaces or drill bits.
Cobalt assets
Cobalt is mainly produced as a by-product at assets that produce copper or nickel.
