KoBold Metals’ news and media highlights

Earlier this year, KoBold Metals found what might be one of the largest high-grade copper deposits of all time, with the potential to produce hundreds of thousands of metric tons per year, the company’s CEO said. Now, just eight months later, KoBold is close to raising over half a billion dollars. The funding should help the company develop the massive copper resource while moving forward on its other exploration projects, which number in the dozens.
KoBold Metals, the Bill Gates-backed mining exploration company, could spend $2.3 billion to build a major new copper mine in Zambia, President Hakainde Hichilema said, citing figures from the company. The firm aims to produce more than 300,000 metric tons per year at Mingomba — making it the country’s biggest such operation — and will begin sinking the mining shaft in the first half of 2026, according to company officials.
KoBold Metals, a mining startup backed by billionaires including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, is bullish on the discovery potential of some of the most sought-after energy transition metals. It comes shortly after the Silicon Valley-based metals exploration company announced the rare discovery of a vast copper deposit in Zambia. Josh Goldman, president of KoBold Metals, told CNBC that the firm’s investors were thrilled by the discovery, particularly at a time when the mining industry is struggling to keep pace with a metals-intensive energy transition.
California-based KoBold Metals, opens new tab, whose backers include billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, said it aims to start producing copper and cobalt at a project in Zambia within 10 years. KoBold is spending about $150 million to accelerate its search for more deposits at the Mingomba project, located along the fabled African copper belt. The additional studies will be completed in 2024, said Mfikeyi Makayi, the Zambian CEO of the Silicon Valley start-up.
