The article (linked below) has good information, including studies carried out by (KoBold linked) Bloomberg showing how cheap it is to process minerals at Manono
An ECA commissioned study was carried out by BloombergNEF and financed by several donors, including the AfDB, to assess the DRC’s potential to attract investment for battery minerals development. It discovered that installing a plant that could process 10,000 tons of minerals per year (cobalt, lithium, manganese, nickel and copper) would cost $117m in the US, $112m in China, $65m in Poland and only $39m in the DRC.
In other words, the cost is almost three times less in the DRC than in China and half as in Poland.
Tantalex is focused on the exploration and development of battery minerals in Manono, DRC, the rising hub for lithium, tin and tantalum.
