Refiner

Chengtun Congo Ressources (CCR)

Congolese processing entity in Lualaba, part of the Chinese Chengtun group, which also owns Kalongwe Mining. ITIE-RDC's 2025 artisanal report says it produced copper cathode and cobalt in hydroxide, records its processing-entity approval of 7 October 2021, and reproduces ministry statistics giving it 2,542 tonnes of cobalt in 2022 and 1,343 tonnes in 2023; the mining cadastre lists it as holder of PE 14050. Its artisanal feed is contested within one paragraph of that report: the report's site fiches record CCR as the destination of ore from several artisanal sites, Kamilombe and Biwaya among them, while CCR's own returns leave the artisanal-share columns empty, declaring itself not concerned, and the report's consultant states that he cannot confirm that declaration. The Kapombo fiche also lists CCR among the partner traders at that site.
