Electra Battery Materials Corp. said Wednesday that it intends to increase the design capacity of its cobalt refinery by 30% in response to higher demand.

Electra Battery Materials Corp.周三表示，打算将其钴精炼厂的设计产能提高30%，以应对更高的需求。

The Canadian battery materials company, formerly First Cobalt Corp., said that the company would invest in additional capacity for its crystallizer circuit, which will result in a new expected capacity of 6,500 metric tons of annual cobalt production.

这家加拿大电池材料公司(前身为First Cobalt Corp.)表示，该公司将投资于其结晶器电路的额外产能，这将带来6500吨钴年产量的新预期产能。

Previously, the company had planned for 5,000 tons a year set out in its original feasibility study design.

此前，该公司在最初的可行性研究设计中提出了每年5000吨的计划。

The company said that the new estimated budget for the enlarged circuit is $67 million, up from previous estimates of $60 million, and that the commissioning of the cobalt refinery remains on schedule for the fourth quarter of next year.

该公司表示，扩大后回路的新预估预算为6,700万美元，高于之前预估的6,000万美元，钴精炼厂仍按计划在明年第四季投产。

"The strength of the North American electric vehicle market year to date and the growth forecasts of automakers informed our decision to invest in additional capacity even before the initial capacity has been brought online," President and Chief Executive Officer Trent Mell said.

总裁兼首席执行官特伦特·梅尔(Trent Mell)说：“今年到目前为止，北美电动汽车市场的强劲势头和汽车制造商的增长预测，让我们甚至在初始产能上线之前就决定投资于额外的产能。”
