India Targets Critical Minerals in Zambia Amid Global Supply Concerns

Constance
India has deployed a team of geologists to Zambia to explore deposits of copper and cobalt, two minerals critical to its clean energy transition, according to two Indian government sources. The Zambian government has allocated 9,000 square kilometers (approximately 3,475 square miles) to India for this exploration initiative. The focus will be on cobalt—a vital component in batteries for electric vehicles and mobile phones—and copper, which is widely used in power generation, electronics, and construction. The exploration project is expected to span three years, with most of the sample analysis… Read More Here
