A 12-month construction period is anticipated. Jervois is assembling a team to produce a feasibility study for the ICO. A summer drill program will provide information to support final tests, to enhance geological confidence of the resource, and for a 1,090-t/d concentrator. Jervois expects the concentrator to be equipped with SAG milling. At the same time, Jervois intends to undertake a scoping study of producing refined cobalt and copper from ICO concentrate. Such a refinery in the state would improve project economics, increase investment, and provide skilled jobs. Both studies are to be complete in Q1 2010.
