The 5,000 tonne per annum (tpa) production line in DRC’s Kolwezi was initially expected to start earlier this year.
It was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Liang said on the sidelines of the China International Nickel and Cobalt Conference in Nanjing.
The company is still in talks regarding sales contracts with foreign traders and domestic users, said Liang.
He did not disclose when the project would reach peak production but said “the sooner the better”.
