Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) has announced expectations for a limited recovery in cobalt hydroxide output within the Democratic Republic of the Congo following a deliberate production cut in 2025. The decision to scale back operations last year was driven by the implementation of an export ban and a subsequent quota system by the Congolese government, which sought to address market oversupply and declining prices for the battery metal.
