Huayou Cobalt Quzhou Refinery

Huayou Cobalt's primary cobalt refining and chemical production complex in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. This facility processes cobalt hydroxide (DRC-origin) into battery-grade cobalt sulfate, cobalt metal, and cathode precursor materials (PCAM/pCAM) for supply to CATL, LG Energy Solution, and Samsung SDI. Quzhou is also home to Huayou's nickel processing capacity. The Quzhou complex represents the downstream end of the DRC-to-China cobalt highway: cobalt hydroxide is shipped from DRC ports → Chinese ports → Quzhou for refining. China's dominance in cobalt refining runs substantially through Huayou's operations. Source: Huayou Cobalt investor relations; Argus Media reporting.
