Background 

The Queensland State Government announced an AU$13 million funding package in November 2019 to accelerate the development of ‘new economy minerals’ within the state.

In March 2021, the firm announced the commencement of its "Cobalt in Waste Streams Project." The initial work focused on desktop reviews of Australian sulphide waste streams with an initial focus on Queensland’s Northwest Minerals Province. COB has identified substantial cobalt in tailings, and now the company targets for deeper investigation. Hence, for collaboration under the Secondary Prospectivity Project, the company has executed an MOU with the State of Queensland.
