Cobalt Blue CEO, Joe Kaderavek, said the company would look to expand its operations into Queensland if the results are positive.
“Queensland is sitting on a significant resource of cobalt, copper and gold. Recycling that cobalt is great news for both Queensland and global battery sectors,” Mr Kaderavek said.
“And in doing so it will significantly diminish current environmental pollution as a result of recycling this metal, which is currently sitting in tailings.
“We believe that Cobalt Blue has the right technology to convert tailings into commercial metals whilst actually enhancing the footprint of tailings.”
