In response to evolving market conditions, we have refined several key project parameters—most notably our feedstock sources, product mix (cobalt sulphate + cobalt metal), and underlying economic assumptions.
These revisions have delivered a substantial improvement in the Project’s base-case (Stage 1) financial outcomes:
- NPV8 (post tax): increased from A$90m to A$155m
- IRR (post tax): increased from 23% to 32%
- Total free cashflow: increased from A$367m to A$503m
We also provide a detailed analysis of cobalt market dynamics, highlighting a materially improved operating environment for refining.
