Producer

Jinchuan Group

Chinese state-owned group, Jinchuan Group Co., Ltd., the ultimate holding company of Jinchuan International, which calls it its parent. Jinchuan International says the cobalt it produces in the DRC is sold exclusively to Jinchuan Group under a life-of-mine arrangement, and that it sold none in 2025, against 1,438 tonnes in 2024, because of low production and the DRC's export ban. What Jinchuan Group does with that cobalt is not stated in any source the hub holds. Every statement here is Jinchuan International's own.

Sources support the description and the individual connections below. Publication and checking dates belong to the evidence: when it was published, and when this Hub last read it.
