Title:
Experimental evaluation of the thermodynamic properties of cobalt minerals and aqueous species, for modelling hydrothermal Co ore formation
Agreement Number:
GC-130030S
Agreement Value:
$100,000.00
Agreement Date:
Sep 14, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
The objective of this project is to determine the thermodynamic properties of the most important hydrothermal ore minerals of cobalt (carrollite (CuCo2S4), linnaeite (Co3S4), skutterudite (CoAs3), safflorite (CoAs2), and cobaltite (CoAsS)) to support enhanced understanding of the primary mineralization of hydrothermal cobalt deposits in Canada.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:

TGI public geoscience knowledge and new methodologies relevant to the discovery of new Canadian mineral resources is made available and industry and other stakeholder groups.
