Ngokombiko ovela ezimayini Bheka ngoMashi 30, 2021, i-Australia-Finnish Company Company Company Unist 66 Cobalt I-Big Cobalt mine iyidiphozithi enebanga elikhulu kakhulu lamazwe e-EU.
Lokhu okutholwe okusha kuhlanganiswe isikhundla sikaScandinavia njengomkhiqizi wezinto ezibonakalayo. Kuma-cobalt ama-cobalt angama-20 ngobukhulu eYurophu, abangu-14 baseFinland, abangu-5 batholakala eSweden, kanti u-1 utholakala eSpain. IFinland ingumkhiqizi omkhulu we-Europe wezinsimbi zebhethri namakhemikhali.
I-Cobalt iyinto ebalulekile eluhlaza okokwenza izingcingo namakhompyutha amakhompyutha, futhi ingasetshenziswa ngisho nokwenza izintambo ze-Guitar. Isidingo se-cobalt sikhula ngokujulile, ikakhulukazi amabhethri asetshenziswa ezimotweni zikagesi, okuvame ukuqukethe amakhilogremu angama-36 we-nickel, amakhilogremu ayi-7 e-lithium, namakhilogremu ayi-12 e-cobalt. Ngokuya kwezibalo ezivela e-European Commission (EU Commission), phakathi neshumi lesibili leminyaka leminyaka le-21, imakethe yebhethri yaseYurophu izodla cishe ama-250 billion euros (US $ 293 billion) ofanele wemikhiqizo yebhethri. Iningi lalawa mabhethri njengamanje akhiqizwa yi-Asia. I-European Commission ikhuthaza izinkampani zaseYurophu ukuba zikhiqize amabhethri, futhi kunemisebenzi eminingi yokukhiqiza yebhethri. Ngokufanayo, i-European Union ikhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezingavuthiwe ezikhiqizwe ngendlela eqhubekayo, futhi i-latitude 66 Cobalt Mining Company isebenzisa le nqubomgomo yamasu e-European Union yokumaketha.
"Sinethuba lokutshala imali embonini yezimayini e-Afrika, kodwa lokho akuyona into esizimisele ukuyenza. Isibonelo, angicabangi ukuthi izimoto ezinkulu zizokweneliseka ngesimo samanje, "kusho uRussell delroy, ilungu leBhodi Yabaqondisi Lenkampani. Kusho isitatimende.
