Cobalt

Cobalt is primarily used in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries, which power many of the devices we use every day, from smartphones to laptops. It’s also used in the production of magnetic, wear-resistant, and high-strength alloys. We can find the distinctive deep blue colour that cobalt provides in glass, ceramics, inks, paints, and varnishes, thanks to compounds like cobalt silicate and cobalt (II) aluminate (CoAl2O4).

Intiomale Group mines, markets and invests in cobalt in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia, mainly as a by-product of copper and nickel mining. We are devoted to connecting the full cycle of the circular value chain as a recycler of cobalt-containing materials, and helping to fulfil the rising requirement for this significant metal.

In addition to its use in batteries and alloys, cobalt also finds applications in medical imaging technologies and in the production of superalloys used in aircraft engines and hard metals used for cutting and drilling.

Experts expect cobalt to become one of the most important raw materials in the transition towards a low-carbon economy because of its many valuable properties, including the ability to regulate temperature, increase safety, and store more power.
