On December 14, 2018, Northern Cobalt Limited announced the confirmation of copper and cobalt mineralization, with laboratory assays, identified in drilling and analyzed by PXRF. Drill hole 18RAB102 represented the best mineralization, which contained a thick intersection of high-grade copper mineralization with associated cobalt mineralization.
Northern Cobalt Ltd (ASX:N27) is in a mineral mining business. Listed in 2007, the company undertakes acquisition, exploration, and development of cobalt mineral projects.
Due to the identification of the significant copper mineralization in drilling, new induced polarization (IP) survey at Running Creek has opened the potential for an essential new copper mineralized system, with proximity of 1.8 kilometer to Stanton Cobalt deposit.
The company earlier assumed that the system was dominated by copper mineralization, but the new data suggests the significant presence of cobalt as well.
North-east trending structures of the Running Creek Prospect associates with mineralization. CRA originally discovered the potential presence of copper-cobalt sediments at Running Creek, way back in the 1990s. CRA identified a group of small, independent copper and cobalt mineralized systems with a limited extent.
Northern Cobaltâs recently conducted IP survey identified a large chargeable feature beneath the currently identified mineralization. The company interprets this feature to represent an extension of high-grade copper-cobalt mineralization at depth.
A whole systematic drilling program is planned to test this feature at the earliest possible opportunity.
Comparisons of Running Creek with the Stanton Cobalt Deposit: The Stanton Cobalt Deposit is dominated by copper mineral which is controlled by a north-east trending fault structure which is approximately 100m across at surface. The Running Creek system has the potential to be at least 2-3 times the size of Stanton at the surface. Evidence suggests that the mineralization also continues at depth and it makes the Running Creek Prospects a high priority for follow-up drilling soon.
Cobalt forecasting: Evidence suggests the use of cobalt in batteries would more than triple between 2017 and 2026. Even in future nickel-cobalt-manganese, 811 cathodes take off, then also overall impact would be limited. There is potential for China to ban all internal combustion engine sales by 2030. The forecasted demand for EV batteries is so large that all components of the supply must expand to meet the supply.
