Robert Friedland(@robert_ivanhoe):We export ~20% of the 99.7%-pure copper anodes we produce at our Kamoa-Kakula copper smelter along the Lobito Railway Corridor to the Atlantic port of Lobito in Angola. We are proud supporters of the Lobito Corridor and the investment made by @trafigura and @DFCgov to improve the capacity of the rail line, which is fast becoming a major rail artery for copper and critical minerals from the DRC Copperbelt to the global market. The Lobito Corridor is the shortest and most direct export and import route from the Copperbelt to the seaborne international market. Cheaper logistics increases the amount of economically recoverable critical minerals mined in the Copperbelt, lowering cut-off grades. @IvanhoeMines_ @kamoa_copper
