Cobalt Blue Holdings (ASX:COB) is a pure-play cobalt exploration and project development company focusing on advancing the Broken Hill Cobalt Project in New South Wales as well as downstream value-adding.

The company’s commercial aim is to make battery-ready cobalt sulphate from a new pilot facility on a scale sufficient to provide test samples for global commercial partners.

This pilot plant in Broken Hill will allow COB to produce varying specifications of cobalt products, which are in strong demand for new generation batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries now being widely used in clean energy systems.
