CMOC's mining and processing operations produce refined metal as well as intermediate and final composite products that are essential to the global economy: Molybdenum, tungsten, and niobium are mainly used in the metallurgy of super alloys; cobalt is primarily used in lithium-ion batteries, and is an essential component in mobile phone and electric vehicle production; copper is widely used in every aspect of our lives, and is an important component of the clean energy transition, including the development of solar panels, wind turbines, energy storage, electric vehicles, and supporting infrastructure; and phosphate fertilizer is an indispensable material for agriculture. Our manufacturing streams also consume other products and services sourced from suppliers and contractors.

（At our TFM site in the DRC, all of our copper and cobalt is labelled with traceability system to enable traceability from the mine to the process plant.）

At our trading company IXM, expert local teams provide global coverage for tailored sourcing, risk management, logistics and financing solutions to a wide and established network of clients in the metals industry. IXM is also committed to promoting sustainability and transparency throughout the supply chain of EV-critical minerals.

The sourcing, manufacturing, transport, and delivery of raw metal materials may pose environmental and social risks to the ecosystem and people within those supply chains. We address these risks, as well as risks in the upstream and downstream value chains, with policies and due diligence procedures at each of our operating sites.
