Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (9/18/18) "ECobalt Solutions Inc. released an update on construction progress at its Idaho cobalt project, indicating that construction is advancing on time and on budget. . .recently, the company achieved an important step, demonstrating the successful conclusion of pilot-scale metallurgical testing, confirming the ability to produce a clean (low-arsenic) cobalt copper-concentrate using rotary kiln roasting technology. In addition, eCobalt announced its optimized feasibility study is on schedule to be delivered at the end of September."
Craig Hutchison, TD Securities (9/11/18) "This morning, eCobalt Solutions Inc. announced the successful completion of pilot-level metallurgical testing to remove arsenic from its cobalt concentrate at the company's Idaho cobalt project. . .testing confirms the arsenic removal process can produce a clean cobalt concentrate. . .eCobalt can now finalize the optimized feasibility study, which has been held up due to the inconclusive results on arsenic removal until now."
	Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (9/11/18) "ECobalt Solutions Inc. announced the successful conclusion of pilot-scale metallurgical testing for the wholly-owned Idaho cobalt project in Idaho and confirmed the expected delivery of results from the optimized feasibility study by the end of September. . .after delivery of the optimized feasibility study, the company's next steps include shipment of pilot plant samples to potential offtakers, finalization of commercial terms and agreements with them as part of a project financing package and formalization of a production decision."
The Energy Investor (9/1/18) "ECobalt Solutions Inc. has started lining the tailings waste storage facility and ponds for September completion at its Idaho cobalt project. . .installation of the system pipelines are in progress. . .believe me, if we liked the company when the shares spiked to around $2 at the beginning of the year, then we certainly are bullish on this stock now."
Keith Kohl, Energy Investor (8/3/18) "Here are some of the highlights from eCobalt Solutions Inc.'s recently completed work: activation of a manned security checkpoint at the property access road; moving of its 70 Kt crushed aggregate to the mine site for construction activities; engineering, fabrication and delivery of the water treatment plant; preparation of the water treatment plant site for building construction; establishment of a concrete batch plant on site with contractor quality assurance/quality control laboratory; and provisions on site for emergency medical services. . .with shares trading under $1 apiece, this could turn out to be a good buying opportunity."
	Derek Macpherson, Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc. (7/12/18) "Crucial equipment has been delivered to eCobalt Solutions Inc.'s Idaho cobalt project site for the construction of environmental systems; the main transformer has been energized with the installed grid power now operational. The concrete plant is on site, and the company has begun constructing foundations for the water treatment plant; also in progress is the installation of liners for the tailings waste storage facility and water management ponds."
	Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (7/12/18) "We maintain our Speculative Buy rating and CA$1.80 target price for eCobalt Solutions Inc. The company continues to advance infrastructure investments and staff recruitment at the wholly owned Idaho cobalt project. . .on the ground, eCobalt Solutions has been applying proceeds from the February 2018 equity financing that raised $29.9M on a gross basis."
Craig Hutchison, TD Securities (6/25/18) "ECobalt Solutions Inc. has received preliminary project term sheets from multiple counterparties to finance the capital requirements of the Idaho cobalt project. The preliminary term sheets will be updated in conjunction with the advancement of the optimized feasibility study."
	Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (6/25/18) "ECobalt Solutions Inc. is progressing its feasibility studies and advancing its project financing opportunities for the wholly-owned Idaho cobalt project. . .two key milestones we expect to see in the near term, which we believe could result in a rerating of the company, are the completion of the feasibility study and finalizing project financing."
Craig Hutchison, TD Securities (6/14/18) "We are initiating coverage of eCobalt Solutions Inc. with a Speculative Buy recommendation and CA$2.25 target price. . .on the back of strengthening demand for cobalt, the company is now planning to release an updated feasibility study in late Q2/18 or early Q3/18, which will look to simplify its flowsheet by producing a bulk concentrate to sell directly to offtake parties given the strong demand for safe secure supply."
	Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (4/23/18) "In this morning's update, eCobalt Solutions Inc. outlined preconstruction efforts at the Idaho cobalt project in advance of underground development and plant construction. Highlights include commenced delivery of components for the water treatment plant and awarded contracts for its construction; awarded contracts for construction of infrastructure and concentrator earthworks and concrete; advanced roaster design engineering based on data gained from pilot tests being conducted with Dundee Sustainable Technologies and continued staff hiring in key roles including mine manager, superintendents and metallurgists."
	David Talbot, Eight Capital (4/23/18) "All eyes are focused on eCobalt Solutions Inc. as it remains the only advanced-stage, near-term primary cobalt developer in the U.S. Recent updates contemplate new end products, environmental improvements and improved economics as we await a feasibility study update; this should outline exactly how the company can shave $100M from its initial capex."
	Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (4/12/18) "Globally, many jurisdictions are firmly mandating a shift to electric vehicles for environmental reasons; auto and battery manufacturers are responding with massive investments in capacity that will drive increased innovation and reduced unit costs. In turn, these will drive battery materials demand; the cobalt situation is particularly compelling. . .we highlight eCobalt Solutions Inc. for its Idaho cobalt project in low-risk Idaho."
Eric Zaunscherb, Canaccord Genuity (2/12/18) "ECobalt Solutions Inc.'s management has shifted its focus to production of a clean cobalt-copper concentrate with attendant savings in initial capex and timelines, targeting completion of an updated feasibility study we expect in Q2/18. Targeted drilling in late 2017 and early 2018 facilitated a new resource estimate, which upped contained Measured and Indicated cobalt by 12% at similar grade."
	David Talbot, Eight Capital (2/7/18) "An updated resource model for eCobalt Solutions Inc.'s Idaho cobalt project improves upon a September 2017 estimate. . .Measured and Indicated tonnage and contained cobalt grew 12.5% to 3.87 Mt at 59% Co, 0.85% Cu, 0.017 oz/t Au for 45.7 Mlb Co, 65.8 Mlb Cu and 68 Koz Au. . .copper and gold grades increased by 17% and 11%, respectively."
David Talbot, Eight Capital (2/1/18) "We recommend eCobalt Solutions Inc. as a Buy and increase our target price to CA$2.50 from CA$2.10/share after incorporating new cobalt pricing and moving our discounted cash flow model forward by one year. . .as cobalt prices climb to above US$36/lb and remain at 10-year highs, we believe that ongoing catalysts should provide further positive news for the company."
David Talbot, Eight Capital (12/18/17) "Assays from the second of three holes of the 5,000 ft resource definition program at eCobalt Solutions Inc.'s Ram deposit were provided this morning; results averaged 0.46% Co over a combined total of a 43 ft core thickness using a cutoff of 0.25% Co. The first hole was reported last week, returning 0.47% over a combined total of 28 ft."
David Talbot, Eight Capital (12/7/17) "ECobalt Solutions Inc.'s plan to shift the Idaho cobalt project away from refined cobalt sulphate heptahydrate (or cobalt metal) toward production of low arsenic cobalt concentrate has several positive attributes. It eliminates the need for a central processing facility; this should significantly reduce capex and opex, alleviate required staff expertise, reduce technical risk and shorten time to production."
