Recent Update
On May 9, 2022, Electra Battery announced that drilling at its cobalt-copper mineral project in Idaho has successfully extended mineralization by an additional 180 metres to the east of the current deposit as well as down dip from the eastern edge of the resource zone.
Highlights:
- Cobalt is an essential ingredient in long range electric vehicle batteries and the U.S. automotive industry is entirely reliant on foreign supplies of this critical mineral.
- Five of six exploration holes drilled in the most recent drill campaign intersected high grade cobalt mineralization, including:
- 5 metres at 0.2% cobalt in hole IC21-04
- 4 metres at 0.4% cobalt in hole IC21-05
- 4 metres at 0.2% cobalt in hole IC21-05A
- Cobalt mineralization remains open along strike in both directions and the final three holes to be reported intersected the mineralized stratigraphy over a depth extent of 400 meters to the east of the current resource.
