    "If there's a better value cobalt play on the ASX than Mt thirsty (BAR and CNJ) please someone tell me what it is!"


    HAV, PAN and NZC would appear to be much better value cobalt plays, based on in-situ value per tonne.

    All 3 are also sulphide deposits.

    Please see Figure 20 'In-situ value per tonne vs Cobalt Value % of total value' from the Celsius Resources presentation (below):

    Mutooroo in Perspective - 1.jpg

    I am a HAV fanboy.

    Mutooroo – High Value Copper & Cobalt

    JORC Resource of 13.1 million tonnes of 1.48% Cu for a total contained 191,000 tonnes of copper, 17,540 tonnes of cobalt, 43,000 ounces of gold and 2,500,000 tonnes of sulphur.

    One tonne of Mutooroo sulphide ore could potentially yield (current spot prices):

    Copper 15kgs $103 /tonne
    Cobalt 1.4kgs $122 /tonne

    TOTAL VALUE $225 /tonne

    The TOTAL VALUE/ tonne above excludes the additional value from the gold (0.2 g/t), sulphur and iron oxide (63% Fe) that could be recovered at Mutooroo, which could potentially push it up to $400/ tonne.

    Cheers
