The Democratic Republic of Congo has banned miners from exporting copper and cobalt concentrates to encourage miners to process and refine the product domestically.
According to government reports, this was part of the country’s bid to retain more revenue from its vast mineral wealth.
The order will also see the introduction of new taxes for economically significant mining by-products.
The ban comes into force immediately but the new by-product tax regime has a three-month transition period.

The Congo is the world’s largest producer of cobalt and the second largest supplier of copper, both highly sought after worldwide.
They are used in many different products such as electronics, rechargeable batteries, motors & generators.
The mining sector is the engine of the DRC’s economy accounting for some 50% of the country’s estimated GDP of $10.9 billion.
