THE DRC INVESTMENT CASE

The DRC’s economy has grown substantially since the early 2000s fuelled mainly by natural resources.
The DRC is world’s fourth largest producer of copper producing 1.6 million metric tonnes in 2020 and supplies 60% of world’s cobalt.
It is a leading actor in the provision of new strategic minerals needed for technology, including electronics and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which are critical to decarbonise energy and transport.
A number of large multinationals and listed companies have copper projects in DRC including Glencore which owns two large-scale copper-cobalt mines in the country: Katanga and Mutanda, and TSX listed Ivanhoe Mines’ Kamoa-Kakula mining project.
