KEY POINTS
- Premium Mixed Hydroxide Product (MHP) {typically 35–41% cobalt and 3–10% nickel content} produced.
- The Broken Hill Cobalt Project (BHCP) Pilot Plant has produced a variety of high grade, tailored MHP specifications with COB receiving positive feedback.
- The BHCP Global Project Partner search aided significantly by these results.
- Transition to Demonstration Plant remains on target with continuous operations targeted during Q1 2022.
COB’s Chair Rob Biancardi, said:
“This is fantastic news for our international partners.”
COB’s CEO Joe Kaderavek, said:
“The production of such high quality MHP samples in our Pilot Plant is a significant achievement for COB and our Broken Hill team. Looking forward, the transition towards a (24/7) Demonstration Plant to produce ~3,000kg of cobalt samples will greatly assist in our global Project Partner search. The BHCP is a ~20 year, large scale, ethical cobalt producer, enough cobalt for 5 million electric vehicles.”
