First Cobalt has quickly established an impressive operation based in Canada. Through mergers with CobalTech (http://nnw.fm/5uNvx) and Cobalt One (http://nnw.fm/Ss3B6), it has gathered a large area of mining territory, as well as the tools and expertise to exploit it. Trent Mell, the president and CEO of First Cobalt, said of the mergers: “Over a very short period, we have created the largest cobalt exploration company in the world, controlling almost half of what we believe may be the most prospective cobalt district outside of the DRC. We intend to pursue an aggressive exploration program in 2018 while continuing to assess other growth opportunities.”

The company’s advantages extend to industrial processing facilities. It has the only cobalt extraction facility in North America that is permitted for producing battery materials, putting it in a unique position to become the leading domestic supplier.
