Talga Resources Ltd. has commenced activities on the company's 100% owned cobalt-rich iron oxide copper-gold projects in north Sweden, and in particular the Kiskama deposit. The activities include metallurgical testwork, sampling and exploration to evaluate the development and commercial options available to Talga. Given the company's primary focus has been, and remains, the continued development of its graphite projects, only minimal work has been undertaken to date on its wholly owned cobalt, copper and gold prospects in Sweden. The strategy to now advance these prospects to a commercialisation decision follows Talga's recent positive exploration drill results, industry recognition regarding the critical nature of non-conflict cobalt supplies (particularly for lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries) and the subsequent price rise of cobalt. Talga has previously announced positive results regarding the use of its graphite and graphene in Li-ion batteries and continues test work in this area. Cobalt is similarly a vital ingredient in the Li-ion battery supply chain and it would be commercially advantageous for the company to further explore future significant participation in this sector.
