KoBold Metals, a startup backed by billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, has approached the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) government with an offer to develop one of the world's largest hard rock <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lithium" rel="noreferrer noopener">lithium mines</a>.
The mining startup looks to take over the disputed mining license for the Roche Dure deposit, taking advantage of the two governments' discussions about a potential <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44216408/dr-congo-explores-a-minerals-for-security-deal-with-the-us" rel="noreferrer noopener">minerals-for-security partnership</a>.
KoBold's bid could resolve an ongoing dispute between Australia's AVZ Minerals and China's Zijin Mining Group. AVZ, which previously controlled the lithium project, lost its rights in 2023 when the government split the permit, handing part of it to Zijin. Per Bloomberg's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-21/kobold-makes-offer-for-congo-lithium-as-country-courts-us" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, KoBold's proposal involves compensating AVZ and acquiring the remaining stake while allowing Zijin to maintain control over the northern section of the deposit.
Despite an 80% decline in lithium prices since a peak in 2022, Zijin has actively expanded its operations, acting greedy when others are fearful in anticipation of a future demand and price rebound.
Meanwhile, KoBold staked its claim as a unique company in this industry, using a proprietary AI-powered technology that analyzes geological data more accurately than traditional exploration methods.
This tech-driven approach has attracted over $400 million in funding from high-profile investors, including Breakthrough Energy Ventures (founded by Gates) and Bezos' Bezos Expeditions.
Arguably, the company's best success has been in neighboring Zambia, where it found the Mingomba asset – possibly the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36940360/kobold-metals-announces-historic-copper-discovery-in-zambia" rel="noreferrer noopener">best copper asset in the country</a>. Experts believe that once operational in the early 2030s, it could rival Zijin's Kamoa-Kakula mine in DRC, which produced almost 400,000 tons of copper in 2023.
While DRC is the world's largest producer of cobalt, lithium extraction in the country has lagged behind other regions, such as Australia and South America.
Roche Dure could change the balance, placing the country on the map of major battery-grade lithium producers, as KoBold's interest aligns with the effort to bring this region closer under U.S. influence and pacify the unrest that threatens mineral production.
Still, extraction of hard rock lithium requires extensive open-pit excavation. This traditional method generates significantly more waste rock, consumes vast amounts of water, and uses toxic chemicals in processing, posing greater risks to local ecosystems and communities. Yet, in anticipation of lithium demand, companies are increasingly looking for large-scale projects.
KoBold Metals remains a private company, but CEO Josh Goldman told CNBC a year ago that it plans to go public within three to four years.

Expert Outlook: Piedmont Lithium Through The Eyes Of 6 Analysts

Australia's Sayona Mining (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYAXF#OTC">SYAXF</a>) and U.S.-based Piedmont Lithium (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLL#NASDAQ">PLL</a>) announced a merger.
The two companies intend to form North America's largest hard rock<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lithium"> lithium producer</a>.
The all-stock deal results from a 50-50 equity split, creating a strengthened entity capable of navigating the challenging lithium market. Pending approval by the shareholders and regulators, the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2025.
Sayona will become the parent company based in Australia. Its primary listing will be on the ASX and a secondary listing on Nasdaq. Sayona CEO Lucas Dow will lead the merged entity. Piedmont CEO Keith Phillips will be a strategic advisor.
"This merger marks a transformative step for Sayona and Piedmont," Dow <a href="https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/SYA/02882580.pdf">said</a>, clarifying the potential for accelerated growth and improved strategic flexibility. 
The combined company would benefit from three feasibility-stage development projects and the opportunity for brownfield expansion at the North American Lithium (NAL) facility in Quebec. 
By consolidating ownership of NAL, the new entity will simplify corporate structures and unlock synergies, including cost savings from optimized logistics and procurement.
The two companies agreed on a merger following a prolonged lithium market downturn owing to oversupply and slower-than-anticipated electric vehicle adoption. Industry challenges have weighed on prices, but the combined company believes its enhanced scale and financial strength will provide resilience.
The new company will control considerable lithium resources, including ore reserves of 70.4 million tons at 1.15% lithium oxide and estimated resources of 153.5 million tons at 1.15% and 51.4 million tons at 1.07%.
Key assets include NAL in Quebec, the Carolina Lithium project in North Carolina, and spodumene assets in Ghana. Management noted the focus on accelerating NAL's brownfield expansion and advancing its other high-potential projects. Still, Sayona's Australian lithium holdings further diversify the portfolio, giving the company an advantage in serving global markets.
The lithium market experienced a severe crash after peaking at over $80,000 per ton in 2022. Still, despite persistent weakness, the market is showing signs of recovery after prices bottomed at $9,800 per ton.
