Chilean Cobalt Corp (COBA) reported significant progress in 2024 for its La Cobaltera cobalt-copper project in Chile. The company secured key strategic partnerships with Glencore AG for concentrate offtake and US Strategic Metals (USSM) for US-based processing. A major milestone was receiving a Letter of Interest from US EXIM Bank for USD $317 million in potential debt funding, which could cover up to 80% of Phase 1 construction costs.
Despite facing challenging cobalt market conditions with prices near record lows, copper prices reached all-time highs in 2024. The company established an Advisory Board including experts in mining, sustainability, and government affairs. Looking forward, Chilean Cobalt plans a 2025 exploration campaign focusing on greenfield areas, implementing AI technology for exploration, and advancing technologies like bioleaching and surgical mining.
US Strategic Metals (USSM) has announced a three-way strategic partnership with Glencore AG and Chilean Cobalt Corp. (OTCQB: COBA) to explore domestic US downstream processing of cobalt and copper intermediate products from C3's La Cobaltera project in Chile. This agreement builds upon a previous LOI between C3 and Glencore, aiming to establish an Americas-centric cobalt supply chain.
The partnership may include developing a dedicated processing line for La Cobaltera concentrate at USSM's integrated critical minerals processing site in Missouri. This collaboration is expected to strengthen US critical minerals supply chains and provide sustainable raw materials for the growing domestic lithium-ion battery manufacturing and high-performance metal alloy markets.
