Cobalt price boost as electric vehicle loadings surge

The company conducted its copper modeling project using public government data and its own proprietary data.

The company has received promising assays from two more drill holes at the Opemiska copper mine complex near Chapais.

More than a dozen parties have reportedly expressed interest in taking up a stake in Clean TeQ’s Sunrise nickel-cobalt-scandium project.

Sources say the price tag may be $1 billion or more.

The report identifies agricultural cooperatives as an alternative to artisanal mining.

Illegal miners will be removed from the site of the Glencore project where at least 43 died last week.
