Trilogy - Bornite, page-12

This is a month old, still very tasty, an aside in a discussion on US Co production:

In Alaska, a world-class copper deposit being advanced toward development by Ambler Metals, a joint venture owned equally by Trilogy Metals Inc. and South32 Ltd., has the potential to produce cobalt alongside the copper needed in vast quantities for EVs and renewable energy.

According to a 2022 calculation, Bornite hosts 6.3 billion lb of copper and 88 million lb of cobalt.

Metallurgical work shows promise that a cobalt concentrate could be produced at this world-class Alaska deposit, which is a good indication that a future mine there could produce the battery metal as a byproduct.

Ash here.

The Arctic and Bornite projects will take years to fruition yet a resource of stunning quality.

The rising demand for Co and urgent need to develop non-China supply puts Ambler on US government priority lists. Whether this accelerates development remain to be seen.
