EGC is a commercial company under Congolese law, set up by the DRC government and a subsidiary of Gécamines.
Named counterparties identified by open-source research and written only where a primary source states the relationship — never inferred from sector or co-mention. 1 customer-side. This is a partial view: it covers the relationships we could evidence, not the company's full supply base.
Holds the 2020 marketing/offtake agreement for EGC's cobalt hydroxide and, per Feb 2026 release, also ships EGC's artisanal copper via the Lobito Atlantic Railway; volumes not disclosed by either party.
Scope. Absence of a counterparty here is not evidence that none exists — most commercial sourcing is confidential and never becomes public. Rows without a share figure mean no share was disclosed, not that the relationship is small.
2 other tracked dossiers name this company as a counterparty in its own sourced disclosure — this platform never wrote these rows on this company's own page, they are read here inverted from the dossier that disclosed them. This is a partial view: 1003 additional named-counterparty rows across the corpus could not be matched to a tracked dossier by name at all (mostly non-Latin legal names), so the true count is higher than what renders here.
EGC is the DRC state entity mandated to purchase cobalt from artisanal producers; Trafigura markets EGC-supplied cobalt hydroxide, moving it via the Lobito corridor. No volume or share_pct disclosed.
Trafigura press release 2026-02-09: EGC and 'Trafigura have agreed the first delivery of copper and cobalt to global markets via the Lobito Atlantic Railway'; 'the copper shipment will be sent initially to customers in the U.S.' Origin is EGC-purchased artisanal material from Kolwezi, DRC Copperbelt (CD); stated destination is US customers (US), who are not named. Trafigura is the trader-buyer carrying the cargo, not the US end user. No volume disclosed.
Scope. This section is inverted evidence: each linked dossier wrote the original row about itself, describing its own relationship to this company. It is never a claim this company itself disclosed. Absence here is not evidence of no relationship — most of the corpus has no named-counterparty block at all yet.
This company sits on the supply side for 2 of its 2 materials — a restriction on those is a tailwind, not a headwind.
As a producer, policy pressure across its produced materials is coverage-limited.
Descriptive trend in official policy actions on this company’s materials — a policy-pressure trend, not a price or trading signal. No forward probability is implied. Direction is measured on actions we have discovered, and discovery lags events: where the recent window is too thin to support a calm reading, the row says coverage-limited instead of easing.
🇨🇩 CD accounts for 100% of severity-weighted pressure.
