The vast majority of cobalt is a byproduct of copper and (or) nickel production. Cobalt is increasingly used in magnets and rechargeable batteries. More than 50 percent of primary cobalt production is from the Central African Copperbelt. The Central African Copperbeltis the only sedimentary rock-hosted stratiform copper district that
I n 2013, for the very first time, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) overtook Zambia to become Africa's leading copper producer, with an output of 925 000 tonnes. This is an extraordinary accomplishment, given that barely 10 years earlier, the country was producing a mere 70 000 tonnes annually. As the graph shows, the DRC came off a low base and rapidly …

Zambia is Africa's second largest producer of both copper and cobalt, eclipsed by the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") which accounts for 70% of global cobalt production. In spite of this, both countries are considered among the least developed, and continue to export raw metals critical for the EVs industry.

There is approximately 60 million tonnes of historical copper smelter slag around the Zambian Copperbelt containing estimated grades of copper ranging from 0.5% to 3.0% and cobalt between 0.3% to 2.6%. Whilst this is the case, there is currently no large-scale processing facility in Zambia processing the abundant old copper smelter slag.
Secondly, if a common source is invoked for copper and cobalt, it is difficult to explain deposits such as Mufulira which contains virtually no cobalt (Annels, 1984), yet originally contained about 20% of all of the copper in the Copperbelt (297 Mt at 3.19% Cu according to the latest estimate).

ndida in Chile, the world's biggest copper mine, produced more than a million metric tons of the metal last year and Grasberg, in Indonesia, the next largest about 770,000 metric tons in 2022.
This is, however, not unexpected as the cobalt grades of the main deposits are considerably higher, averaging in excess of 0.3% (Tenke-Fungurume grades 0.45% cobalt). Both the copper and cobalt in the orebodies have, in the past, been considered to have been derived from weathering and erosion of basement granitic rocks with transport of the ...
