Talking about a company investing in mining activities (English text is translated from Turkish)

  -> thx

agree  Marie-Hélène Hayles: yes, that's my understanding too. Given the use of "recovery", I'd say the answer to NewCal's question *ought to be* that the mine produces another material, but further information is needed to be sure.

  -> thx

agree  Will Matter: Exactly right and well-put. A study to determine whether or not cobalt can be feasibly recovered (probably from mining waste that contains a certain percentage of cobalt).
