Cobalt Into the Tailings

In the last 15 years, where copper mines were were developed, cobalt was well known. And investment decisions were made not to extract the cobalt from the ore and throw it into a tailing pile. But now all of those mind tailings that are full of cobalt and that are known, are being re processed or investment. Even just current predictions, if you include global demand, especially from asia, of electric vehicles, were likely going to run out of cobalt from known supply in less than ten years.
