Katanga posted New Technical report:
Area produces roughly 7% of the world’s copper production and 62% of the world’s cobalt production.


Production will re - commence during the second half of 2017
page 31:


Mining in the Kolwezi district has a long history, stretching back to the early 1900’s. At its peak, in the late 1980s, the district accounted for roughly 7% of the world’s copper production and 62% of the world’s cobalt production. In the mid-to late-90s, production declined to a virtual standstill as a result of various political and technical factors. In 2002, a new Mining Code was established and since 2008, after the KCC and DCP merger, significant growth in mining production has occurred. Due to a slump in metal prices in 2015, operations were put on care and maintenance. During this time, construction of the WOL facility was undertaken in order to achieve the planned recoveries and reduce operating costs. Production will re-commence during the second half of 2017.

KATANGA (KATFF, on the TSX: KAT.T) is an essential company for Cobalt production. The company has the world biggest cobalt reserve. Due to a slump in metal prices in 2015, operations were put on care and maintenance. During this time, construction of the WOL facility was undertaken in order to achieve the planned recoveries and reduce operating costs. Production will re-commence during the second half of 2017.

I believe share price can go up from this 30 cents level to multi-dollars level. Katanga's majority shareholder is Glencore. Glencore is the world third biggest mining company.
