It comes after the company entered into an option agreement to buy Goodsprings project owner US Cobalt in March.
Tyranna Resources managing director Bruno Seneque said: “Historical mining results suggest that this area holds some of the highest grade cobalt mines that can be found in the district.
“In the 1920’s, the mines in this area produced approximately 20t of cobalt-rich ore from copper mining and historical grades were reported between 6% and 29%.”
Seneque noted that modern mining techniques have not been used at the project until now.
