Electra Battery Materials Corporation announced on September 3, 2025, the completion of its early works program at its cobalt refinery north of Toronto. This milestone strengthens the company’s readiness to restart full construction.
The early works program focused on several targeted site-level activities designed to prepare for the restart of full-scale construction, primarily advancing the solvent extraction (SX) facility. Key activities included concrete foundation work for SX tanks, installation of processing equipment, and structural roofing.
Further upgrades were made to power, lighting, and septic systems, alongside advanced engineering and procurement activities. This completion shortens the ramp-up time required for mobilizing a full construction crew, reaffirming Electra’s commitment to onshoring North America’s critical minerals processing.
