Chemaf is a well-established copper and cobalt mining company with more than 20 years’ experience responsibly operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We excel at minerals exploration, mining and mineral processing, while providing leadership within and beyond the mining sector, and uplifting our local communities. Formally established in 2001, Chemaf has successfully developed our extensive asset base and implemented ambitious plans for future growth in accordance with the DRC Government’s economic goals and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. We have embarked on a growth trajectory that will see Chemaf become a globally significant producer of copper and cobalt.

As both copper and cobalt are metals critical to enabling the energy transition to Net Zero, Chemaf is making a meaningful contribution to global decarbonisation. Simultaneously, the Company intends to make a transformative contribution to the economic and social development of the DRC by responsibly mining our mineral assets in a manner that creates meaningful value for all stakeholders. Chemaf operates mechanised mines and state-of-the-art ore processing plants producing cobalt hydroxide and copper cathode in Etoile in Lubumbashi.

In the near future, we will also produce copper and cobalt from Mutoshi in Kolwezi. Our assets in the DRC include:

• The Etoile mine and processing plant, Etoile phase II project plant expansion;
• The Mutoshi mine and processing plant which is under construction; and
• A significant portfolio of mining concessions.

Chemaf currently creates employment opportunities for over 6,000 people, and always tries to prioritise the recruitment of talent from our local communities first.
