Cobalt, page-2

There were encouraging hits of laterite cobalt on the leases around the Blair mine. Those leases have been joint ventured for nickel only with ESS retaining 25% free carried to a decision to mine. The partner is now getting active in the area and that activity may give ESS some more geological information to better understand to potential of the area, including cobalt potential. I don't think that ESS is likely to divert any resources away from the Pioneer Dome nickel in the short to medium term.
