Cobalt Lithium Uranium Critical Li-ion Clean commodity, batteries now alternative essential to standard for base load battery electric power chemistry vehicles essential to battery chemistry. Powering Solution for Nuclear portable our growing power an electronic renewable important devices and energy part of our electric revolution future energy vehicles mix
In line with our strategy to acquire and invest in undervalued and undeveloped mineral projects we seek to capitalise on an undervalued and emerging cobalt market by acquiring the rights to:
-
a readily available cobalt rich tailings dam in the DRC copper belt;
-
a nearby processing facility that can produce cobalt/copper concentrate; and
-
explore and mine 3 cobalt rich mineralised areas in the nearby Kasombo region.
From Paragon Mining SARL ( Paragon ), a Congolese based company.
Acquire interests in further prospective cobalt projects with potential for operation synergies, including:
- Kitwe Cobalt-Copper Tailings Project in Zambia copper belt.
Paragon’s holdings/interests that are part of the proposed JV Agreement include:
-
a 70% interest in the Kipushi tailings dam and will increase that interest to 85%;
-
100% ownership of the Kipushi Processing Plant; and
-
The rights to acquire 100% interest in 3 cobalt rich mineralised areas in the nearby Kasombo region;
( DRC Cobalt Project ) located in the DRC.
Acquisition details:
JVCo
-
CFE will acquire 50% interest in newly established JVCo, which will operate under Joint Venture Agreement; and
-
Paragon will transfer the DRC Cobalt Project into JVCo.
CFE will be responsible for funding:
- the establishment of mining of Kipushi tailings;
Paragon 50%
CFE 50%
-
modifications needed for Kipushi Processing Plant; and
-
exploration and feasibility study at Kasombo.
: The objectives of the JVCo will be to
-
commence mining activities at Kipushi Tailings as soon as practical;
-
commence exploration activities on Kasombo;
-
complete a Feasibility Study on Kasombo within 18 months;
-
commence mining activities at Kasombo as soon as practical; and
-
identify and secure other copper, tin, zinc, and cobalt projects in the DRC and Zambia.
Most cobalt is produced as a by product of either copper or nickel production
60% copper production by product

38% nickel production by product 2% primary cobalt production
Cobalt - one of the worlds essential minerals
-
Lustrous, silvery-blue, magnetic metal;
-
High melting point (1,495 degrees Celsius);
-
Maintains strength even at high temperatures;
-
Maintains its magnetism at temperatures up to 1,121 degrees Celsius;
-
Used in: pigment, cancer treatment and irradiate food for preservation in some countries (cobalt-60), alloyed for high-tech turbines, magnets, batteries.
Cobalt-based batteries have high energy density, chemistry that is attractive for portable electronic equipment

The Kipushi Processing Plant comprises a conventional flotation plant with a design throughput of 150tph.
The process plant is connected to State power via a 12Mw substation.
Construction of the process plant is all but complete and requires upgrades and commissioning.

The Kasombo Copper-Cobalt Project ( Kasombo ) is part of the Kasombo Complex, a series of coppercobalt rich deposits that have been extensively explored by Gecamines and developed and mined by various international companies in joint venture with Gecamines.
Kasombo is at early stage exploration and comprises three separate areas (Kasomobo 5, Kasombo 6 and Kasombo 7) located within the granted mining licences of PE 4881 and PE 4886. The Kasombo deposits are within 3-5km of the Kipushi Processing Plant.

Results from random hand held XRF sampling were consistent with and confirmed the previously reported mined copper and cobalt grades by Gecamines and Forrest International Group of between 2.7% to 3.7% copper and 3.5% to 5.3% cobalt.
An extreme high grade rock sample from Kasombo 7 returned a handheld XRF grade of >21% Co.
