Cobalt

Cobalt is among the most coveted minerals in the world, widely used in rechargeable batteries for smartphones and electric cars, while also forming part of super alloys used in the aerospace industry and renewable energy technologies. On a global scale, cobalt production is led by the Democratic Republic of Congo, which provides more than 70% of the available supply. But there is promising Cobalt in reserves found in countries such as Uganda, with places like Kisoro, Kigezi, and the extended belt of Katanga believed to hold commercially viable elements.

 

We are committed to Uganda, and at Sajit Minerals, we plan to take the lead in unleashing Uganda’s cobalt potential through fair trade, sustainable exploration, mining, and value addition. We provide our customers and Uganda with sustainable, high-quality Cobalt that helps power the world while respecting environmental standards and according to consumers’ quality requirements.

Cobalt Services in Uganda

We offer the whole suite of cobalt services in Uganda, from exploration and mining to smelting and export. Cobalt is also usually co-mined with copper or nickel, and our full value chain model enables a seamless process from extraction to processing of these strategic minerals. Sajit Minerals Ltd. We are a company that leverages expertise, sustainability, and transparency to unlock Uganda’s cobalt potential, supplying the global clean energy industries while delivering value to local communities.

  • Cobalt Exploration
    Our geologists and engineers carry out state-of-the-art geological surveys and mineral mapping with a view to discovering cobalt deposits in Uganda’s rock-rich areas, such as Kisoro and Kigezi. “With sophisticated sampling technology, we can bring the benefits of accurate reserve evaluation that enables profitable and sustainable mining operations for long-term supply.

  • Cobalt Mining
    We are drilling responsibly in our cobalt deposits, as the land adjacent to the deposits is environmentally protected. Because Cobalt is typically extracted from copper and nickel mining, we approach our operations with combined product recovery purposes to maximize output, minimize waste streams, and recover Ugandan cobalt for global markets.

  • Cobalt Refining & Processing
    We process cobalt ore into high-purity products for batteries, aerospace, and industrial demand. Our processing techniques are meticulous and quality-controlled to ensure that Ugandan cobalt complies with international standards, in order to generate value-added benefits for the economy.

  • Cobalt Trading & Export
    We enable transparent trading and export of Ugandan cobalt by applying rigorous international compliance standards. We connect local resources with global buyers to make Uganda a reliable, ethical source of Cobalt for the sustainable energy and technology markets

Forms of Cobalt in Uganda

Cobalt is found in various forms, mostly combined with other metals as an ore. At Sajit Minerals, we convert Cobalt into forms for the market, which include industrial, commercial, and technological applications, with quality guaranteed in line with international standards.

  • Cobalt Ore
    Cobalt ore is mined from Uganda’s mineral belts, usually along with copper and nickel deposits. We sell high-quality cobalt ore (cobalt city), which is sourced and refined to produce Cobalt ferroalloy for refineries and manufacturing industries locally and internationally.

  • Gold Dust
     Gold Dust from alluvial mining and washing. Where gold dust is found in sufficient quantity and can be sealed, it is most desirable for trade and smelted into bars.

  • Refined Cobalt
    Purified Cobalt undergoes further purification to attain ultrapure form, which is used in aerospace, electrodes, and rechargeable batteries. At Sajit Minerals, we produce refined Cobalt, which is in line with global norms, and form the feedstock for renewable energy and high technology industries globally.

  • Cobalt Compounds
    Cobalt compounds, including cobalt sulfate, are critical for manufacturing batteries and other industrial processes. We offer premium cobalt products, utilizing Uganda’s cobalt resources to produce vital materials for global clean energy and technological advancements.

We work to ensure Uganda’s cobalt reserves are developed responsibly, helping to power the global supply chain while ensuring that local communities greatly benefit from it, as well as national economic development.
