- Current battery minerals pricing, particularly cobalt metal trading at US$12–14/lb, as well as the current inflated capital cost environment, make the Broken Hill Cobalt Project (BHCP) in its current form unlikely to attract project financing.
- High level of concentration in global cobalt extraction and processing, posing risks to supply chains.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Developed a sophisticated Integrated Waste Landform approach to bulk waste management that will minimize acid formation and create a long-term stable landform constructed via progressive rehabilitation.
- Project footprint avoidance areas that kept intact approximately 107ha of land near creek lines. This has flood mitigation benefits as well as avoiding direct impacts on numerous Aboriginal cultural heritage objects, riparian vegetation, and several small patches of Purple Wood Wattle (threatened species).
- Opportunities for heat recovery and adoption of renewable energy. Further, kiln heating for the processing plant is via electrical power thereby providing the opportunity for greenhouse gas emission reduction where renewable power can be utilized
