To alex114Alex,
I am a little curious why you worry so much about the lead associated with the US Cobalt deposit (in the largest lead mining region in the world) and yet do not seem concerned with the arsenic in the FCO deposit. I can't really recall any mineralized area, or mine, that doesn't have an element of concern - read EPA.
Both of these deposits will have to deal with the minerals that mom nature has left them. Arsenic in a pristine wilderness setting or lead in the largest lead mining region in the United States? You decide. Both elements can be properly handled with a good process design and in fact are handled every day in the mining industry. Both of these deposits have great potential - FCO has been working on the Idaho properties much longer than US Cobalt has been in existance - time will tell how each will progress.
I for one want to see both of them succeed. More mining means more jobs, and cobalt is a great commodity with a very bright future. Both projects can't supply 25% of the US consumption, so there is plenty of room for both. Lets root for US based projects and stop the death of mining in America.
