KINSHASA, June 21 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has extended its temporary suspension of cobalt exports for an additional three months, citing persistently high inventory levels in both domestic and international markets.
The move follows a four-month export halt announced in February. The extension was announced on Saturday by the DRC's Regulatory and Oversight Authority for Strategic Mineral Substances Markets (ARECOMS), the national body responsible for regulating the trade of critical mineral substances.
