First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) adopted the Responsible Cobalt
Initiative in 2017 and is intently developing North American-based cobalt resources. From raw product to refined chemicals, First
Cobalt is rapidly building an economically and politically secure North American cobalt company.
The company owns three substantial North American assets. First Cobalt’s flagship asset, Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho, has
an exceptionally promising inferred mineral resource estimate of 29.6 million tons grading 0.11 percent cobalt equivalent. In fact,
the company announced the outstanding results of its first NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the 100
percent-owned property in September, stating the site contains 45 million pounds (20,411 metric tons) of cobalt and 175 million
pounds (79,379 metric tons) of copper for 62.9 million pounds (28,528 metric tons) of cobalt equivalent. In addition, First Cobalt
owns an immense land package composed of 50 past-producing mines in the renowned Canadian Cobalt Camp – an area in Ontario thought
to be a cobalt trove and ripe for revival.
