About eCobaltI agree. Grades are better at LIC.
But here is where the differences are.
ECS is fully Permitted in the Idaho Cobalt district. Only pure Cobalt mine in the US to be so.
100million was already spent when put on Care and Maintanance in 2013 due to low Cobalt prices.
Construction is well on its way with Taildam and waste pad completed.
Most of its long lead time Heavy Gear is on hand.
Ware Houses full of Electronics and Sensitive Instruments.
Industial site for Processing selected.
Deposit is wide open onstrike and at depth with drilling ongoing
Adjacent to the decommisioned Blackbird Cobalt Mine and if drilling connects the 2 deposits would make the deposit to be multi times bigger even at average cobalt grades.
Grid power installed.
Has ongoing in-depth discussions with several off-stake partners in the cobalt chain-line.
Recently listed on the OTCQB for exposer to US investors.
Foundations already laid for most buildings.
Updated resouce estimation in first quarter 2018.
Management expects to be in production 2018.
Not overly promoted like other fly by night explorers which is a big red flag for me, ECS will let Cobalt prices and actual production do there promotion for them.
Meanwhile LIC has a couple of decent holes with suspicios big insider selling.
Due Dilligence is a terrible thing to waste.
Ironship.
