Jervois eyes greenfield cobalt refinery in the US

Triple listed Jervois Global has started a bankable feasibility study (BFS) into a new greenfield cobalt refinery in the US. The BFS would be focused on a 6 000 t/y operation that would process cobalt in sulphate form for use in the US auto industry. Refinery feed is expected to be based on approximately 20% recycled cobalt, largely in “closed loop” recycling whereby cobalt material used by customers is returned to Jervois for reprocessing.
