Congo considers extending cobalt export ban as it weighs quotas

1 week ago | mining.com | Sonia Rolley |Maxwell Akalaare Adombila

Congo is likely to continue with the ban because the government wants more time to work out how to distribute export quotas among mining companies that produce the battery vehicle metal, said the sources, who cannot be named because the matters are confidential.

The delays have come against a backdrop of declines in global lithium production — potentially by 228,000 tonnes this year — as miners curtail operations in the face of falling prices for the metal used in electric vehicle batteries.
