Glencore Plc’s unit in the Democratic Republic of Congo will temporarily suspend sales of cobalt from its Kamoto mine after detecting low levels of radioactivity in supplies.

Katanga Mining Ltd., controlled by Glencore, said Tuesday it will build an ion exchange system to remove uranium, which is expected to cost about $25 million and be ready by the end of the second quarter. In the meantime, it’ll stockpile the vital battery ingredient while continuing to mine both cobalt and copper.
