Cobalt Hydroxide & Refined Cobalt
Overview
AL AIN METALS CORPORATION LIMITED supplies cobalt hydroxide and refined cobalt from African mining regions. Cobalt is a critical mineral essential for lithium-ion battery production, superalloys and numerous high-technology applications.
The Democratic Republic of Congo accounts for approximately 70% of global cobalt production, making Africa the dominant source of this strategic mineral. As electric vehicle adoption accelerates worldwide, demand for ethically sourced cobalt continues to grow.
Our cobalt supply chain is aligned with OECD Due Diligence Guidance for responsible mineral sourcing. We provide full traceability from mining through to export, with independent verification of grade and purity for every shipment.
