Top 5 Canadian Cobalt Stocks of 2025

Cobalt prices remained elevated through the year's second quarter, holding strong after a sharp early year rally triggered by the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) export ban on cobalt hydroxide.

Announced in February, the restriction quickly pushed standard-grade cobalt metal up 45 percent month-on-month to US$15.75 per pound, while cobalt sulfate prices spiked by 74 percent. Prices held steady between US$15 and US$16 per pound through Q2, even as imports into China surged in April, fueled by material from Indonesia.

Yet, as Fastmarkets analyst Olivier Masson noted at the Lithium Supply & Battery Raw Materials event in June, Indonesian output won’t be enough to offset the shortfall from the DRC, which extended its export ban into September.

Cobalt Market Update: Q2 2025 in Review

Cobalt prices remained elevated through Q2 after a dramatic price surge early in the year.

The tailwinds were largely attributed to the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) export ban on cobalt hydroxide.

ASX Cobalt Stocks: 4 Biggest Companies of 2025

After spending much of the last two years trending downward, cobalt prices are up in 2025.

About 75 percent of global cobalt output comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and in February the country banned exports of cobalt in an effort to increase the metal's falling price.

By mid-March, cobalt had spiked to US$36,170 per tonne, up more than 65 percent from its record-low price of US$21,550, hit in late January. Heading into H2, cobalt prices have managed to stay above the US$33,000 level.

Cobalt Prices Surge as DRC Extends Export Ban to September

Cobalt prices are surging after the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the world’s largest producer, extended its export ban by three months in a bid to address global oversupply and stabilize plunging prices.

According to the Financial Times, cobalt prices on China’s Wuxi Stainless Steel Exchange rose nearly 10 percent after the DRC government announced the news over the weekend.

The ban — originally set to expire on Monday (June 23) — will now remain in effect until at least September.
