Investor Takeaways
The DRC controls ~74% of global mined cobalt. No other country can meaningfully displace it before 2030.
Battery-grade cobalt demand outpaces refined supply from 2027 onward — an entry window for upstream stakes.
Spot prices have moved +46% in 12 months. Long-dated offtake contracts are repricing in DRC producers' favor.
