A Toronto-based cobalt junior miner is combining old mining data with modern technology to assess if an historic mining property can be put back into operation using bulk mining techniques.
First Cobalt announced it has started fieldwork on its 2,100-hectare Keeley-Frontier Mine property and surrounding exploration claims at Silver Centre, Ontario, Canada, 25 kilometers south of the historic mining town of Cobalt. The companyÂ’s stated objective is to assess the property for its potential as a large-scale, bulk mining operation.
First Cobalt has seven copper-cobalt properties in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and an option for the former Keeley-Frontier Mine, a mine that produced over 3.3 million pounds of cobalt and 19.1 million ounces of silver between 1908 and 1965.
