A lot of recent articles and reports with the main focus on the lack of mining standards in the DRC, Indonesia etc. The ESG side will be heavily highlighted as the US and EU are working on their strategies for new transparent supply chains.
Translated summary of Special Envoy, March 30, 2023
"In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, China has got its hands on "blue gold", and the "cobalt convicts", including 40,000 children, are picking up the crumbs. In the DRC, the city of Kolwezi is nicknamed "the world capital of cobalt". However, this "blue gold" does not benefit the local population, to whom the Chinese mining companies leave only crumbs. Why has the country abandoned an entire sector of its economy to a foreign power? Excerpt from a report to see in "Special Envoy" on March 30, 2023."
