Project developer Fortune Minerals on Friday reported that it has produced a premium high-purity cobalt sulphate heptahydrate sample from cobalt sulphate product previously produced for the company in a pilot plant, from concentrates originating from the Nico gold/cobalt/bismuth/copper deposit, in the Northwest Territories.
Mining services provider SGS Canada produced the ultra-pure sample which exceeded the chemical specifications for cobalt sulphate heptahydrate received from several large manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries.
