Sekureva kwemushumo weMINING SEE musi wa30 Kurume 2021, kambani yemigodhi yeAustralia neFinland Latitude 66 Cobalt yakazivisa kuti kambani iyi yawana yechina pakukura muEurope kumabvazuva kweLapland, Finland. Mugodhi weBig Cobalt ndiwo une cobalt grade yepamusoro munyika dzeEU.
Kuwanikwa kutsva uku kwakasimbisa chinzvimbo cheScandinavia semugadziri wezvinhu zvakagadzirwa. Pamasherufu makumi maviri ecobalt makuru muEurope, gumi nemana ari muFinland, mashanu ari muSweden, uye rimwe chete riri muSpain. Finland ndiyo mugadziri mukuru muEurope wesimbi dzemabhatiri nemakemikari.
Cobalt chinhu chakakosha pakugadzira nharembozha nemakomputa, uye inogona kutoshandiswa kugadzira tambo dzegitare. Kudiwa kwecobalt kuri kukura zvakanyanya, kunyanya mabhatiri anoshandiswa mumotokari dzemagetsi, ayo anowanzo kuve nemakirogiramu makumi matatu nematanhatu enickel, makirogiramu manomwe e lithium, uye makirogiramu gumi nemaviri ecobalt. Zvichienderana nehuwandu kubva kuEuropean Commission (EU Commission), mukati memakore gumi echipiri ezana remakore rechi21, musika wemabhatiri eEurope uchashandisa zvigadzirwa zvemabhatiri zvinosvika mabhiriyoni mazana maviri nemakumi mashanu emaeuro (US$293 bhiriyoni). Mazhinji emabhatiri aya parizvino anogadzirwa muAsia. European Commission inokurudzira makambani eEurope kugadzira mabhatiri, uye kune mapurojekiti mazhinji ekugadzira mabhatiri ari kuenderera mberi. Saizvozvowo, European Union inokurudzirawo kushandiswa kwezvinhu zvakagadzirwa nenzira inochengetedza nharaunda, uye Latitude 66 Cobalt Mining Company iri kushandisawo mutemo uyu weEuropean Union wekushambadzira.
"Tine mukana wekudyara mari muindasitiri yemigodhi muAfrica, asi ichocho hachisi chinhu chatinoda kuita. Semuenzaniso, handifungi kuti vagadziri vemotokari vakuru vachagutsikana nemamiriro ezvinhu aripo iye zvino," akadaro Russell Delroy, nhengo yebhodhi revatungamiriri vekambani. Akadaro mumashoko ake.
