First Cobalt Corp. announced the appointment of former Governor C. L. Butch Otter to the company's Board of Directors. Gov. Otter has had a long and prominent political career including both federal and state positions. In January 2019, Gov. Otter retired as Governor of Idaho following a 12-year tenure, making him the longest consecutively-serving governor in the United States. The addition of Gov. Otter to the company's Board of Directors will allow First Cobalt to draw on his extensive knowledge of the Idaho state landscape as First Cobalt advances the Iron Creek Cobalt Project in Idaho, US. Before devoting his career full-time to politics, Gov. Otter had a more than 30-year career as a business leader including 12 years as President of Simplot International.
