COBALT: Dundee begins pilot tests for eCobalt’s Idaho cobalt project

QUEBEC – Dundee Sustainable Technologies has begun pilot tests on a three-tonne bulk sample from the Idaho cobalt project (ICP) 40 km west of Salmon. Owner eCobalt Solutions of Vancouver has taken the project to the advanced exploration stage.

The results will provide eCobalt with feasibility level detailed engineering data with which to examine costs and sizing options for a production facility. The tests will be done in Dundee’s Thetford Mines, Que., labs. Learn more about Dundee’s pyrolysis approach to arsenic removal at www.DundeeTechnologies.com.
