According to market news, the Congo has issued a new administrative order to completely ban the export of copper concentrate and cobalt concentrate. In response, a staff member from Huayou Cobalt commented that the ban targets primary mineral products like "copper concentrate" and "cobalt concentrate," while Huayou Cobalt's products in the Congo are crude cobalt hydroxide and electrolytic copper, which do not involve concentrate export issues. "Chinese-funded enterprises should be about the same."
