The Growing Potential of the Canadian Cobalt Industry Canada’s cobalt industry is seeing a renewed surge of interest as global demand for the metal rises, driven largely by its use in batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage. While Canada has long been a key player in the global mining sector, cobalt mining in the country has historically been overshadowed by other metals. However, this is rapidly changing, particularly in regions like Northern Ontario, where historic cobalt-producing mines are being revitalized. A key player in the Canadian cobalt industry is First Cobalt, which owns the only permitted cobalt refinery in North America. This refinery, located in Cobalt, Ontario, plays a crucial role in processing cobalt for the battery sector. The company is actively exploring additional reserves, with drilling programs at the former Bellellen mine uncovering significant cobalt and nickel deposits. Similarly, Canada Cobalt Works (formerly Castle Silver Resources) is working to bring its mines back into production. Their Castle Mine, known for high-grade cobalt and silver, is a promising asset with redevelopment plans. Northern Ontario’s Cobalt Camp remains a focal point for cobalt exploration, with companies like Cobalt Power Group and Canada Cobalt Works making significant strides. The area has a rich history of cobalt production, and with the help of new technologies and exploration strategies, there is significant potential to meet the growing demand for this critical mineral. As global demand for clean energy solutions increases, the Canadian cobalt industry stands poised for significant growth, offering both opportunities and challenges. The country’s rich cobalt deposits, coupled with its political stability, make it a desirable destination for investors looking to capitalize on the energy transition. However, as with any mining venture, environmental considerations and regulatory hurdles will need to be navigated carefully.

For years mining has underpinned Australia’s economy, but it’s no longer the source of GDP growth. This piece I had published in The Australian Financial Review looks at the disconnect between policy and the realities faced by the resources sector as typified by the McPhillamys gold mine decision, along with regulatory uncertainty, IR changes, high energy costs, and issues around exploration. Australia’s loss of international competitiveness means we should expect to see more investment heading to Africa, South America, the Middle East and Central Asia at the expense of Australian jobs. #australianmining #gold #criticalminerals #energytransition #ironore #copper #uranium #LNG #coal #ESG
