Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

However, considering the scope of the project, which involves a feasibility study for the expansion of cobalt and copper production, the budget could be substantial. The U.S. Trade and Development Agency's funding for the feasibility study suggests that the project has significant potential. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the size of the expansion, the complexity of the project, and the requirements of the feasibility study. A rough estimate for the budget could be between $500,000 and $5,000,000.
