The NICO Project is one of the most advanced cobalt development projects in the world outside of the Democratic Republic of Congo (“ DRC”) to meet the growing demand in lithium-ion batteries powering electric vehicles, portable electronics and stationary storage cells. The NICO Project is comprised of a planned mine and concentrator in the NWT and a related hydrometallurgical refinery in southern Canada that will produce cobalt sulphate, gold doré, bismuth ingots and oxide, and a copper cement precipitate. The vast majority of these funds are being used to contract work and services from Yellowknife and Behchoko-based businesses and personnel. An additional $100,000 grant was awarded to Fortune, which together with the previous grant of C$140,000, are being applied to the NICO Project drill program.
The Company did not drill the lower priority “Magnetic Anomaly A target” and only one hole was needed to test the Roadcut Zone.įortune is also pleased to report that it was one of the recipients of additional Mining Incentive Program grants to advanced exploration projects from the Government of the NWT and the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor). An additional hole, totalling four, tested for potential extensions to mineralization identified in the Peanut Lake Zone and two holes were drilled to test for extensions of the Ralph zone. A total of six holes (two additional holes) were drilled to test the east end of the NICO deposit where it remains open for potential expansion.
