  • Critical metal cobalt used in battery cells electric vehicles, renewable energy

    Alaskan cobalt could supply EV demands

    Shane Lasley, Mining News|Updated Jan 14, 2021

    Whether it is the exponential growth in electric vehicles traveling global highways, the massive need for storing energy at solar and wind electrical generating facilities, or cutting the cords on our electronic devices, the world is becoming increasingly dependent on lithium-ion batteries. And this is driving up the demand for cobalt, a critical safety ingredient in the cathodes of these energy storage cells. "Globally, the leading use is in the manufacture of cathode materia...

    It is time for a new look at Windy Craggy

    Bruce Downing and Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse|Updated Sep 26, 2020

    N'tsi Tatay, more widely known as the Windy Craggy Project, is one of North America's largest resources of cobalt with excellent copper, zinc, gold, and silver grades hosted in an Upper Triassic Besshi-style volcanogenic massive sulphide. It is located in the northwestern corner of British Columbia within a regional scale volcano-sedimentary basin, termed Alta Basin, which is a mineralized belt that has the potential for future discoveries. Other known sulphide prospects...

    Critical Minerals Alaska – Cobalt

    Shane Lasley, Mining News|Updated Sep 25, 2020

    Cobalt is an essential ingredient to optimizing the performance of batteries in the growing number of electric vehicles on global highways, yet essentially none of this battery metal is mined in the United States. With at least one advanced stage exploration project in Alaska looking into the potential of producing cobalt alongside its copper, America's 49th State could provide a domestic source for this critical metal. In its annual report, Mineral Commodity Summaries 2018,...

  • Batteries create critical cobalt situation

    Shane Lasley, Mining News|Updated Jun 22, 2020

    Cobalt is a critical safety ingredient in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries powering the ever-increasing number of electric vehicles traveling global highways and a plethora of cordless electrical devices. "Globally, the leading use is in the manufacture of cathode materials for rechargeable batteries – primarily lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-metal-hydride batteries – which are used in consumer electronics, electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, energy sto...

  • Constantine hunts mammoth VMS

    Shane Lasley, Mining News|Updated Nov 30, 2008

    A decade after first kicking rocks around the Palmer Project, Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. President and CEO Garfield MacVeigh and Constantine's new Vice President of Exploration Darwin Green have reunited to uncover what they hope will be a mammoth in a land of elephants. According to Mac Veigh, Constantine was formed to explore the Palmer volcanic massive sulfide property when the company was incorporated in March 2006. The Palmer Project, located about 35 miles northwes...
