Largest cobalt resource with lowest valuation, page-49

If the resource stacks up then the CAPEX, while possibly problematic, is not so much the problem - more the time to design and build the plant.

Plus, these laterite acid leach plants are more or less a chemical process and ramp up to full production usually takes a few years after the initial commissioning takes place. Lots of little details of process and materials of construction need to be worked out. I know, I have been there.

Could easily be 5 years minimum to economic production.

Interested in any informed discussion about these issues.
