Cobalt NewsSoon Tesla/Panasonic will be unable to feed the battery factory unless they invest in NA Cobalt mining companies. The same is the case of Apple, Dell, DeWalt and many others that make products that use lithium batteries. Otherwise they will continue to buy conflict source Cobalt that is refined and sold to them by China - with China deciding whether or not to sell to them at all.
They would all love to be able to eliminate Cobalt from their batteries, but they also must have stable batteries that have high performance. In time that may happen, but it will be awhile and the new Cobalt free battery may use some other rare element that is even harder to get.
If FCC can continue to get the capital it needs to move forward, its value as a company could easily increase by a multiple of 10. The quesition is how to get sufficient capital without diluting the shares. An off-take agreement is the answer and it is viable by getting the refinery operational for processing FCC ore and other cobalt copany ore.
FCC has a bright future and I believe that it will get there. Of course that is only my opinion and that and $5.00 will get you a $5.00 lunch at Dairy Queen.
