Pacific Rim Cobalt CEO Ranjeet Sundher said: “2019 was a pivotal year for us, and we’re pleased to carry this momentum into 2020.

“Obtaining approval from Indonesia’s OMBUDSMAN is an important step toward our goal of securing strategic partnerships and participating in Asia’s growing battery metals supply chain.”

Last year, the company carried out an exploration and development programme at the Cyclops project site. Drilling results revealed that the area hosts significant nickel mineralisation.

According to the company, bench-scale scoping tests returned positive results for nickel-rich material processing at the site.

Pacific Rim said that the nickel-cobalt project is environmentally permitted with access throughout the entire year.
