Northern Cobalt Limited (ASX: N27)

Drilling prospects While cobalt prices have been volatile owing to mixed outlook based on use in electric vehicle sector, Northern Cobalt that is into exploration and development of cobalt mineral projects has undergone a lot of downfall in terms of stock price in the recent months.The Mining Company released itsfinal assay results from the 2017 diamond drilling within the Stanton Cobalt Deposit. In December 2017, Northern Cobalt completed approximately 774 metres of diamond drilling into the Stanton Cobalt Deposit. The primary purpose of this drilling was to obtain representative samples of mineralisation for metallurgical testing and petrophysical information for resource calculation. A number of drill sections have been prepared to show the distribution of cobalt mineralisation subsurface. The group’s Wollogorang Cobalt Project in the far north-eastern corner of the Northern Territory, a mining friendly jurisdiction, is a sediment hosted cobalt mineralisation system which has a potential for low CAPEX and OPEX options due to Non-refractory mineralisation. In addition to this, metallurgical testing as of now is in progress that will give a valuable insight into the possible processing choices in the future. Since past six months, the stock price was down by 47 per cent and by 15.38 per cent in last one month. The stock was down by 3.6 per cent as on 11 May 2018. We give a “Hold” recommendation at the current market price of $0.265, in view of the recent fall while we wait for any catalysts to be unveiled by the group.
