ERG mulls selling Mozambican assets, reviewing Congo permits

Kazakhstan-backed Eurasian Resources Group plans to review some of its mining permits in the Democratic Republic of Congo and is considering selling assets in Mozambique as part of a revamp, the chief executive officer of its Africa unit said.

The overhaul is aimed at reducing costs at the cobalt and chrome producer, Nicolas Treand told Bloomberg TV in an interview at the Mining Indaba in Cape Town on Monday.

A global cobalt glut has sent prices of the battery metal to record lows.

“The market is pretty, pretty bad and pretty depressed and I think it’s going to be depressed for the next two to three years,” said Treand. “My first priority is basically to clean house in the DRC because we have definitely too high costs maintaining all these licenses in DRC right now.”

He doesn’t foresee the war in the east of Congo impacting on ERG Africa’s operations “as we are too far away,” Treand said.

The miner is also reviewing projects in South Africa and Zimbabwe as part of the revamp, Treand said.
