A global shift away from carbon-based cars and trucks is
pumping billions of dollars into battery-powered electric vehicle (EV) research
and related development projects. Bolt Metals Corp. (CSE: BOLT) (OTCQB: PCRCF) (XFRA: NXFE),
an exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of production
grade cobalt and nickel deposits, is benefitting from the shift as demand for
the materials that power EV research surges.
Nickel and cobalt are critical components of lithium-ion
batteries used to power EV research. Both materials are currently experiencing
a global supply deficit. Over $20 billion has been committed to nickel projects
focused on the EV space in Indonesia alone.
Bolt Metals Corp. is redirecting its marketing strategy as
it evolves to become a specific player in the expanding EV supply chain in both
China and Indonesia, according to CEO Ranjeet Sundher in an interview with
NetworkNewsAudio (http://ibn.fm/0VDTS).
Sundher is a 25-year veteran of the mining and investor sectors in southeast
Asia. Part of that new marketing strategy changed the company’s name from
Pacific Rim Cobalt Corp. to Bolt Metals Corp. on February 26, 2020.
Bolt Metals Corp. employs a vertically integrated
“minerals-to-market” strategy to leverage its production-grade battery metals
projects to their fullest, Sundher said. The company’s flagship project, Cyclops (http://ibn.fm/jdjhA), is
uniquely positioned within Indonesia, the world’s largest producer of nickel,
and in proximity to China and features near surface, strong nickel-cobalt
mineralization. The property is situated in an area with excellent
infrastructure including a nearby workforce, supplies, sealed roads, ocean
access, nearby port facility and gentle topography. Nestled on the north coast
of Papua, Indonesia, Cyclops establishes the company well within the
economically attractive ocean-going transportation range to Asia and its
lucrative, growing industrial markets.
From drilling and permitting to processing ore and
discussions with offtake partners, the results are promising.
Sundher cited the project’s 99% recovery on nickel and
96% recovery on cobalt as two major factors that made 2019 such a pivotal
year for the company. Those results provide solid evidence that
the Cyclops project is aligned perfectly to fit the supply
chain criteria for the EV sector in Asia, as the company’s end goal is to
become a key contributor to Asia-Pacific’s rapidly expanding EV and battery
supply chain.
Backed by a successful 2019 exploration and development
season, the company is pursuing ambitious milestones for 2020, Sundher adds.
Bolt Metals Corp. is working to show the market that it brings local know-how
and exceptional project generation. “Quite early in our business plan, China’s
largest battery manufacturer wanted to do a preliminary offtake with us,
which demonstrated that we were in the right country with the right project. In
2020, we hope to take that relationship and several others to the next level,”
Sundher explained.
The remainder of 2020 will see continued and consistent
development in the company’s strategy as Bolt Metals Corp. continues to set
ambitious milestones toward the goal of becoming the leading international
player in the EV battery metal sector and creating significant long-term
shareholder value. With rich mineral deposits and two substantial markets, Bolt
Metals is anticipating a bright future.
