Norway – Active Mining Jurisdiction & Leader in Renewable Energy
The historical home of cobalt production
- Skuterud: Over 4 million tonnes of cobalt ore mined from 1773-1893, the world’s largest cobalt producer & Norway’s largest company at the time
- 6.5km trend of historic cobalt workings along Skuterud trend – >100 years of mining
- Maiden drill results identified multiple zones of cobalt mineralization
