Vertically integrated North American pure-play cobalt company First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQX: FTSSF) (ASX: FCC) this morning announced its engagement of Brown and Caldwell as its primary environmental and permitting consultant for its Iron Creek Project in Idaho, where the firm will provide guidance on permitting and develop an environmental baseline study strategy. According to the update, First Cobalt’s engagement of Brown and Caldwell is due to its strong reputation as a leading environmental consulting, engineering, design, and construction firm with over 70 years of experience and more than 55 offices across the U.S. and Canada. “First Cobalt’s strategy in 2019 is to advance and de-risk our two key assets: the Iron Creek Project in Idaho, USA and the First Cobalt Refinery in Ontario, Canada,” First Cobalt President & CEO Trent Mell stated in the news release. “Environmental and permitting work are critical next steps to progressing Iron Creek towards development. We are pleased to have the experience of Brown and Caldwell as we drive the project forward. On the heels of the maiden resource estimate announced in the fall, this is one of a series of technical programs initiated to help us determine the optimal mining and mineral processing design at Iron Creek. Baseline environmental data is critical to advancing the timeline toward production as we work towards developing an environmentally responsible source of cobalt in North America.”
