We’ve published an update that details recent achievements at the Broken Hill Technology Centre that directly advance COB’s pathway to a Final Investment Decision on the Kwinana Cobalt Refinery by late 2025, reinforcing the commercial readiness of the project. https://lnkd.in/gwGF7WJu Since 2021, COB has invested over A$15 million in the Broken Hill Technology Centre (previously referred to as the ‘Demonstration Plant’). The facility was originally established to validate an end-to-end flowsheet for the Broken Hill Cobalt Project (BHCP) – from mining through to production of cobalt sulphate and metal. More recently, the Centre has focused on optimising the Kwinana Cobalt Refinery’s production flowsheet using a range of feedstocks, including cobalt hydroxide, cobalt-nickel sulphides, and battery black mass. #cobalt #CriticalMinerals  #MineralSupplyChain #StrategicMetals #SupplyChainResilience #asx  #KwinanaIndustrialArea #CobaltFacts #CobaltInsights #BatteryRecycling #FutureMadeinAustralia #FMIA

[CMJ | Critical Minerals News] Sunshine Silver Mining & Refining has made a bold move in the critical minerals sector by successfully closing a $75 million equity financing round, primarily driven by major shareholder Electrum Silver US. This strategic injection of capital is set to catapult the Sunshine project into a unique role within the United States, creating a fully integrated facility dedicated to the production and processing of essential minerals, including silver, antimony, copper, gallium, and germanium. The stakes are high; the Sunshine project is expected to boost US silver production by over 20% within its first five years. This aligns seamlessly with government initiatives aimed at reinforcing domestic mineral production and enhancing supply chain resilience—a critical need in today's evolving economic landscape. Among its key assets, this project features a fully permitted antimony refinery, which is projected to meet a substantial portion of the US's annual antimony needs by 2028. Furthermore, Sunshine Silver is poised to utilize its innovative processing technology for gallium and germanium, positioning itself as a vital contributor to the domestic supply chain in light of ongoing trade uncertainties. With an impressive $600 million already invested in infrastructure, CEO Heather White emphasizes the project's capability not only in its core operations but also in processing third-party concentrates. This multifaceted approach further underscores Sunshine Silver's commitment to solidifying its role as a critical player within the mineral processing industry, showcasing the potential for growth and resilience in an increasingly competitive sector.
