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.週三表示，打算將其鈷精煉廠的設計產能提高30%，以應對更高的需求。

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.

這家加拿大電池材料公司(前身為First Cobalt Corp.)表示，該公司將投資於其結晶器電路的額外產能，這將帶來6500噸鈷年產量的新預期產能。

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

此前，該公司在最初的可行性研究設計中提出了每年5000噸的計劃。

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.

該公司表示，擴大後迴路的新預估預算為6,700萬美元，高於之前預估的6,000萬美元，鈷精煉廠仍按計劃在明年第四季投產。

"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.

總裁兼首席執行官特倫特·梅爾(Trent Mell)説：“今年到目前為止，北美電動汽車市場的強勁勢頭和汽車製造商的增長預測，讓我們甚至在初始產能上線之前就決定投資於額外的產能。”
