In this report from Reporte Minero y Energético, we review the progress made by Chilean scientists in extracting cobalt from tailings.
Cobalt, essential for batteries in mobile phones, laptops, or electric vehicles, is a critical mineral for the technological revolution we are experiencing, with the majority of its production coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Today, Chilean scientists are exploring new methods to obtain this mineral through the reprocessing of mining tailings.
