The copper and cobalt ores are found in a 500-million-year-old mountain chain in two zones, weathered oxide deposits that extend to a depth between 70 m and 150 m and unweathered sulfide deposits below these oxide deposits at depths greater than 250 m. The weathered part of the deposit is easily mined by surface scrapers, bulldozers and diggers.

Cobalt represents a prime example of a critical mineral resource. Cobalt is primarily used in cathodes for rechargeable batteries and in superalloys for jet turbine engines. Most cobalt is mined as a byproduct of copper or nickel, and recently cobalt prices have increased due to strong demand and limited availability.
