COPPER CATHODEAs a prominent manufacturer in the Katanga region, our Copper Cathode Production volume currently stands at ~60,000 MT.We source quality ore from our captive mines and use a hydrometallurgical extraction process to produce LME |
COBALT HYDROXIDEDerivatives of Cobalt have multi-industry applications in healthcare, industry, and technology.Cobalt (II) Hydroxide is gaining global importance, as governments across the world move towards |
SULFURIC ACIDSomika commenced production of Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) in 2018. The colorless chemical compound plays a vital role in mineral processing aiding the conversion of the mined ore into a usable form of copper. |
Somika is continuously reinforcing its mining operations by bringing more and more areas under operations, targeting a four-fold growth.
Somika has Hydro-metallurgy based facility to manufacture 3000 tonnes Cobalt Hydroxide annually, 30,000 tonnes Copper Cathode annually.
Somika produces Cobalt Hydroxide of 30 to 35% of purity, Copper Cathode of 99.995% of purity and Sulphuric Acid of 98.5% of purity.
