Ngokombiko ovela ku-MINING SEE ngoMashi 30, 2021, inkampani yezimayini yase-Australia-Finnish iLatitude 66 Cobalt imemezele ukuthi inkampani isithole eyesine ngobukhulu eYurophu empumalanga yeLapland, eFinland.Imayini ye-Big Cobalt iyidiphozithi enebanga eliphakeme kakhulu le-cobalt emazweni e-EU.
Lokhu kutholwa okusha kuqinise isikhundla seScandinavia njengomkhiqizi wezinto ezingavuthiwe.Ezingu-20 ezinkulu ze-cobalt ezifakwa eYurophu, eziyi-14 zitholakala eFinland, ezi-5 zitholakala eSweden, kanti eyodwa iseSpain.IFinland ingumkhiqizi omkhulu kunabo bonke eYurophu wezinsimbi zebhethri namakhemikhali.
I-Cobalt iyimpahla ebalulekile yokukhiqiza omakhalekhukhwini namakhompyutha, futhi ingasetshenziswa ngisho nokwenza izintambo zesiginci.Isidingo se-cobalt sikhula ngokuphawulekayo, ikakhulukazi amabhethri asetshenziswa ezimotweni zikagesi, ngokuvamile aqukethe amakhilogremu angu-36 e-nickel, amakhilogremu angu-7 e-lithium, namakhilogremu angu-12 e-cobalt.Ngokwezibalo ze-European Commission (EU Commission), phakathi neminyaka eyishumi yesibili yekhulu lama-21, imakethe yamabhethri yaseYurophu izodla cishe ama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-250 (amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-293) wemikhiqizo yebhethri.Iningi lalawa mabhethri okwamanje Onke akhiqizwa e-Asia.I-European Commission ikhuthaza izinkampani zaseYurophu ukuthi zikhiqize amabhethri, futhi kunezinhlelo eziningi eziqhubekayo zokukhiqiza amabhethri.Ngokufanayo, i-European Union iphinde ikhuthaze ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezingavuthiwe ezikhiqizwa ngendlela eqhubekayo, futhi i-Latitude 66 Cobalt Mining Company nayo isebenzisa le nqubomgomo yamasu ye-European Union ukuze imakethwe.
“Sinethuba lokutshala imali embonini yezimayini e-Afrika, kodwa akuyona into esizimisele ukuyenza leyo.Ngokwesibonelo, angicabangi ukuthi izinkampani ezinkulu ezikhiqiza izimoto zizogculiseka ngesimo samanje,” kusho uRussell Delroy, oyilungu lebhodi labaqondisi benkampani.Kusho esitatimendeni.(Global Geology and Mineral Information Network)
