DRC Signs Immediate Ban on Copper and Cobalt Concentrates Exports
According to foreign media reports, on June 29, the DRC government signed an order banning the export of copper-cobalt concentrates, effective immediately; projects meeting "strategic" criteria may be granted an export exemption of up to one year by the Minister of Mines. Previously, the DRC had already imposed strict approvals on the export of copper-cobalt concentrates, requiring enterprises to obtain export quotas or exemptions before shipping out. Therefore, this policy is more of a reiteration and tightening of existing controls, rather than a sudden complete suspension of exports. According to SMM, the copper concentrates previously exported by the DRC mainly came from the Kamoa-Kakula copper mine jointly owned by Zijin Mining and Ivanhoe. In 2025, the mine produced copper concentrates containing 388,800 mt of copper, and a 500,000 mt/year direct-to-blister copper smelter was commissioned at year-end, producing copper anode with 99.7% purity, which still needs to be shipped overseas for further refining. In Q2 2026, the smelter produced 62,100 mt of copper anode. With the capacity ramp-up, the project's exported products are transitioning from copper concentrates to copper anode. Considering that the DRC's copper concentrate exports were already subject to approval restrictions and that Kamoa-Kakula already has local smelting capacity, the new impact of this ban on short-term global copper concentrates trade may be limited. However, the signal sent by the policy is clear: as the strategic importance of critical minerals rises, resource-rich countries are placing greater emphasis on using export restrictions, local processing requirements, and tax policies to retain more resource value addition and industry chain segments domestically. The impact of resource protectionism on the global supply landscape of copper raw materials is continuing to rise.

Congo bans exports of copper, cobalt concentrates, official order says
According to Reuters, the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has announced an immediate ban on exports of copper and cobalt concentrates as part of its efforts to promote domestic mineral processing and increase the value added from its mineral resources. According to a government order obtained by Reuters, the ban was signed on June 29 by the Minister of Mines, the Minister of Foreign Trade and the Minister of Economy, and explicitly prohibits the export of copper and cobalt concentrates. At the same time, the DRC has introduced a new tax regime for economically significant mining by-products to increase revenue from its mining sector. The new tax regime includes a three-month transition period, while the export ban takes effect immediately. Under "strategic" circumstances, the Minister of Mines may grant export waivers for up to one year. As the world's largest cobalt producer and second-largest copper supplier, the DRC's move is expected to affect major mining companies operating in the country, including CMOC, Glencore, Huayou Cobalt, Zijin Mining, Ivanhoe Mines and Eurasian Resources Group.
