Such conditions also apply to other minerals found in the DRC, like cobalt, which is surging in demand due to its importance in batteries for electric vehicles.Around 70%of the world's cobalt is mined in the relatively safer southern DRC. It may not be benefiting armed groups, but there ...
Current knowledge of useful minerals enables scientists to predict that certain minerals will be found in specific areas. Further research in the theory of the formation of useful minerals is necessary to determine precisely the sources of the matter for these minerals, the forms of migration, the...
