Commodities we mine

The global battery revolution and transition to green energy continues to spur the demand for copper and cobalt . MRR Mining is capitalising on these growth opportunities by expanding its mining and processing capacities.

COPPER​

Output capacity: 75,000 tonnes of LME Grade A copper cathode per annum.

COBALT​

Output capacity: Over 20,000 tonnes of cobalt hydroxide per annum.

Operations

MRR Mining has an expansive footprint in the DRC. We are currently expanding our existing Etoile operation and building a world class large scale mine and processing plant at our Mutoshi concession.
