Why Cobalt Ontario is a perfect place to refine Cobalt

[Goatburner]

For those of you who don't live in our area, that is the Cobalt area of Ontario, you might find it interesting to understand a little history about the environmental legacy and why it makes perfect sense to refine Cobalt here. Firstly, there would be very few willing hosts for any new refineries near other populations. Cobalt Ontario has a 50-year history of mining silver embedded in high arsenic embedded Rock. Virtually all lakes in close proximity to Cobalt Ontario are contaminated with arsenic. The damage has been done. Oh you can catch a fish here in The lakes I'm speaking of but you can't eat them and nor can your cat. The damage has been done here. But saying that, it does make it the perfect place to operate the refinery. Odd isn't it? But in this case,, a history of negative environmental legacy can work in our favor where it won't work anywhere else in today's environmental climate. Best wishes all and let's refine some Cobalt.
