Glencore PLC (GLEN.LN) on Monday said it has entered a new five-year agreement to supply GEM Co. Ltd. (002340.SZ) with cobalt hydroxide.

The Anglo-Swiss miner and commodities trader said that under the terms of the deal it will supply a minimum of 61,200 metric tons a year of cobalt to GEM, a Shenzen-listed battery-metals company, between 2020 and 2024.

Nico Paraskevas, Glencore's head of marketing for copper and cobalt, said the partnership will provide the company with a stable outlet for a "significant portion" of its expected future cobalt hydroxide production.
