"Cobalt is a critical element of the lithium-ion batteries used in EVs, and investors are starting to take notice that increasing demand for electric cars will likely push cobalt into a supply deficit, sending prices of the metal higher. As a result, cobalt producers are employing their expertise in geosciences and exploration to develop current mining assets and search for new deposits. Prominent among them is First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQB: FTSSF) (FTSSF profile), a Canadian company focused on the development of its assets in the Cobalt Camp of Ontario mining area.

"The Cobalt Camp is of considerable interest to the company, as an initial mineralogical assessment of sample material taken from various historical mines located throughout the Cobalt Camp show both cobalt-rich and silver-rich mineralization styles. Earlier this week First Cobalt reported high-grade (up to 1.14 percent) cobalt from muckpile sampling at the historic Silver Banner mine at the northern part of the Cobalt Camp. These results confirm the presence of a productive vein system in the area, similar to that seen at the company's Bellellen (located within the Greater Cobalt Project), Keeley and Frontier mines."

Upon completion of the mergers with Cobalt One Ltd. and CobalTech Mining Inc., First Cobalt will control over 10,000 hectares of prospective land and 50 historic mining operations in the Cobalt Camp in Ontario, Canada as well as a mill and a permitted refinery facility.
