"We source copper and cobalt ores from our own mining operations. These include the Etoile concession in Lubumbashi, which provides a combination of copper and cobalt ore, and Mutoshi in Kolwezi from which we source cobalt. At our Usoke plant, we sometimes supplement our own sources with ore supplied by third party suppliers in order to meet specific mineral grade requirements and ore quality of our processing operations. For all third-party suppliers, we are committed to assessing supply chain risks associated with the sourcing of copper and cobalt in line with our “Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy” and due diligence procedures. This process includes: - Know-Your-Supplier checks for third party suppliers; - On-site risk assessments; - Implementation of systems for control and traceability of the minerals we receive." p. 2 Traceability system
