Overview
What Huayou Cobalt does
Chinese battery-materials group headquartered in Zhejiang that began processing Congolese cobalt in 2006 before moving into direct mining. It is the world's largest cobalt refiner by market share and is listed in Shanghai.
Huayou's Congolese subsidiary, Congo DongFang Mining, runs copper-cobalt operations including the Luiswishi mine in Haut-Katanga; a 2025 dam failure at one of its subsidiaries spilled contaminated water near Lubumbashi and led the DRC to briefly suspend its operations.
