Ho latela tlaleho e tsoang ho MINING SEE ka la 30 Hlakubele 2021, k'hamphani ea merafo ea Australia-Finnish Latitude 66 Cobalt e phatlalalitse hore k'hamphani e fumane ea bone e kholo ka ho fetisisa Europe ka bochabela ho Lapland, Finland.Moepo o moholo oa Cobalt ke depositi e nang le sehlopha se phahameng ka ho fetisisa sa cobalt linaheng tsa EU.
Tšibollo ena e ncha e kopantse boemo ba Scandinavia joalo ka mohlahisi oa lihlahisoa tse tala.Har'a li-depositi tse 20 tse kholo ka ho fetisisa tsa cobalt Europe, tse 14 li Finland, tse 5 li Sweden, 'me e le 'ngoe e Spain.Finland ke naha ea Europe e hlahisang litšepe tsa betri le lik'hemik'hale tse kholo ka ho fetisisa.
Cobalt ke thepa e tala ea bohlokoa bakeng sa ho etsa mehala ea cellular le likhomphutha, hape e ka sebelisoa ho etsa likhoele tsa katara.Tlhokahalo ea cobalt e ntse e eketseha haholo, haholo-holo libeteri tse sebelisoang likoloing tsa motlakase, tseo ka kakaretso li nang le lik'hilograma tse 36 tsa nickel, 7 lik'hilograma tsa lithium, le lik'hilograma tse 12 tsa cobalt.Ho ea ka lipalo-palo tse tsoang ho European Commission (EU Commission), lilemong tse leshome tsa bobeli tsa lekholo la bo21 la lilemo, 'maraka oa Europe oa libeteri o tla sebelisa lihlahisoa tsa betri tsa boleng ba li-euro tse ka bang limilione tse likete tse 250 (liranta tse limilione tse likete tse 293).Bongata ba libeteri tsena ke hona joale Tsohle li hlahisoa Asia.European Commission e khothalletsa lik'hamphani tsa Europe ho hlahisa libeteri, 'me ho na le merero e mengata e tsoelang pele ea tlhahiso ea betri.Ka mokhoa o ts'oanang, European Union e boetse e khothaletsa tšebeliso ea thepa e tala e hlahisoang ka mokhoa o tsitsitseng, 'me Latitude 66 Cobalt Mining Company e boetse e sebelisa leano lena la leano la European Union bakeng sa ho bapatsa.
“Re na le monyetla wa ho tsetela indastering ya merafo ka hara Aforika, empa seo ha se ntho eo re ikemiseditseng ho e etsa.Ka mohlala, ha ke nahane hore baetsi ba likoloi tse khōlō ba tla khotsofatsoa ke boemo ba hona joale,” ho boletse Russell Delroy, setho sa boto ea batsamaisi ba k’hamphani eo.Ho boletse polelong.(Global Geology and Mineral Information Network)
