As the global demand for Sustainability & New Energy Vehicles (NEV) increases, cobalt remains vital for manufacturing NEV batteries and copper for all forms of electricity transmission.

 

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the world’s largest producer of cobalt and one of the largest copper producers, has many political and social risks which could deter investors.
