Halls Creek Scoping Study Commences and Refinery Update

Cobalt Blue is pleased to provide a Market Update detailing progress on the Halls Creek Project and the Kwinana Cobalt Refinery.

Halls Creek Project

COB has completed a comprehensive desktop review of Halls Creek and identified development options to be advanced via a Scoping Study—forecast for completion in or around June 2025.

  • The Review included an extensive compilation of historical metallurgical testwork demonstrating that high metal recoveries are achievable.
  • COB intends to advance flowsheet development using two separate processing pathways, with treatment of:
    • Oxide / transition mineralisation via acid leaching (heap leach)
    • Sulphide mineralisation via flotation

Kwinana Cobalt Refinery

  • With 80% of the detailed plant engineering completed, the Kwinana Cobalt Refinery is advancing through the final stages to support a Final Investment Decision.
  • Permitting has progressed through a public consultation period and is being assessed by the Western Australian Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
  • COB was pleased to host our potential partner, Iwatani, at the Broken Hill Technology Development Centre in early March.
