Markets & logistics
Serving copper and cobalt producers worldwide
Output serves producers in all major producing regions, with the Copperbelt (DRC/Zambia) via the Port of Lobito as a major market, and around 20% to Europe — including industrial users outside mining.
The route
Sines → Lobito → Kolwezi
For Copperbelt customers, supply from Sines via Lobito offers a shorter supply route than long-haul supply from Asia, with the potential to lower transport-related CO₂ emissions.

Elythium will publish quantified figures only once they have been independently assessed. No percentages, tonnes or "X% lower" statements are made at this stage.
Europe
Around 20% to European users
In Europe, the products also serve industries beyond mining — including industrial users outside the mining sector. As the only merchant xanthate producer within the EU, Elythium offers European buyers a local supply source.
Elythium is in the development phase. Plant scope, partners and timelines are indicative and subject to permitting, financing and final investment decision.
