刚果民主共和国2025年铜出口量同比增长近10%至340万吨，进一步巩固其全球第二大铜生产国地位，仅次于智利。这一增长主要由外资企业主导 的矿山扩产推动，为承受供应压力的全球铜市场提供了关键缓冲。 根据刚果政府在开普敦矿业会议上发布的初步数据，2025年该国铜出口量自2024年的310万吨增至340万吨。外资矿企占据其铜产量主体，其中 Tenke Fungurume矿与Kisanfu项目全年产量分别达51.9万吨和22.8万吨。 产能扩张正为紧缺的全球铜市注入供应。过去一年，铜价累计上涨40%，并于2026年1月底突破14500美元/吨，创下历史新高。价格上涨背后是全 球矿山事故频发与运营中断，叠加清洁能源转型及人工智能发展所驱动的结构性需求攀升。 Ivanhoe Mines创始人兼联席董事长Robert Friedland本周表示 "刚果将成为世界铜产量领导者。" 智利仍以美国地质调查局估测的530万吨年产量稳居全球榜首。但刚果近年来排名迅速跃升，已超越秘鲁与中国，其对全球供应的贡献在过去十年 增长逾两倍。 供应紧张推动铜价创新高 与之形成反差的是，刚果2025年钴出口量骤降近80%至4.45万吨，主因政府 ...
