https://www.mining-technology.com/news/ ... &cf-closedCanada Nickel to build $1bn nickel processing facility
The nickel processing facility is expected to reach an annual capacity of more than 80,000 tonnes (t).
February 9, 2024
Canada Nickel Company, through its subsidiary NetZero Metals, is planning to construct a nickel processing facility in the Timmins Nickel District in Canada.
The company is looking to raise $1bn (C$1.34bn) to fund the development of the plant, reported Bloomberg News.
Set to be the largest in North America, this processing plant is expected to reach an annual capacity of more than 80,000t of nickel.
With production anticipated to start by 2027, the facility will cater to the stainless-steel/superalloy and electric vehicle markets using low environmental footprint technology.
Furthermore, NetZero Metals plans to build a stainless steel and alloy production facility to process nickel-chromium magnetite concentrate from the Crawford Nickel project and other sources.

Re: Nickel
un nouveau prospect de Nickel en Alaska, qui devient le plus gisement prospectif des Etats Unis:
https://www.mining.com/alaska-energy-bo ... illion-lb/Alaska Energy boosts contained nickel at Nikolai project to 8 billion lb.
Staff Writer | February 12, 2024
Alaska Energy Metals (TSXV: AEMC) said on Monday that its 100% owned Eureka deposit, part of its flagship Nikolai polymetallic project in Alaska, now contains one of the biggest known nickel resources in the US following an update to the NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate (MRE).
The new MRE includes 813 million tonnes of indicated material grading 0.22% nickel, plus 0.07% copper, 0.02% cobalt, 0.048 g/t platinum, 0.094 g/t palladium and 0.012 g/t gold, for a nickel-equivalent (NiEq) grade of 0.29%. The contained nickel metal is nearly 3.9 billion lb.
There are also 896 million tonnes of inferred material grading 0.27% NiEq (0.21% nickel, 0.05% copper, 0.02% cobalt, 0.039 g/t platinum, 0.068 g/t palladium and 0.009 g/t gold), containing 4.2 billion lb. of nickel. The inferred resource grew 180% in tonnage compared to the deposit’s initial resource published in November 2023.
The 2024 resource estimate incorporated 35 historical drill holes, the data for which Alaska Energy purchased in August 2023, and eight diamond drill holes (totaling 4,138 metres) drilled by the company in 2023. The resource area covers three zones (EZ1, EZ2, EZ3) of sulphide mineralization spanning 4.5 kilometres of the Eureka deposit.
The highlight of recent drilling was the identification of a higher-grade core zone within EZ2 that displayed continuity along much of the strike of the deposit. This core zone alone contains an indicated resource of 211 million tonnes at 0.34% NiEq and an inferred resource of 154 million tonnes at 0.33% NiEq.
“In less than a year, we have taken an exploration concept to a substantial deposit of nickel and other critical metals,” Alaska Energy Metals CEO Gregory Beischer commented in a news release. “The update increases the nickel metal content of the deposit to over 8 billion lb. (more than 3.7 million tonnes) with only a 0.01% grade decrease and a notably lower strip ratio.”
The Eureka deposit of the Nikolai project now represents a globally significant accumulation of nickel and has now become one of the larger known nickel deposits in the country, Beischer noted. The project is located 40 km northwest of the village of Paxson, on the southern flank of the Alaska Range.
“Nikolai could potentially become an important source of nickel for the US, catering to the needs of various manufacturing sectors including stainless steel, electric vehicles, defense components, long-term, grid-scale renewable energy storage batteries and a myriad of other uses,” he said.
Regarding the high-grade core zone at EZ2, Beischer said the company will continue to evaluate this area as it could positively affect project economics.
The Nikolai project is a possible host to disseminated nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE mineralization analogous to the Crawford deposit in Canada and the Norilsk mine in Russia, the company said.

Re: Nickel
https://www.boursorama.com/actualite-ec ... 5e74a02cbcChute des prix du nickel: BHP annonce une dépréciation de 2,3 mds USD
BOURSORAMA AVEC AFP•15/02/2024
Le géant minier BHP a annoncé jeudi qu'il allait réduire de 2,3 milliards de dollars la valeur de ses actifs australiens liés au nickel après une baisse prolongée des prix du métal provoquée par une forte hausse des exportations indonésiennes à bas coût.
La société anglo-australienne a annoncé déprécier ses actifs en Australie occidentale invoquant les "conditions actuelles du marché", dans une communication à la Bourse australienne.
Le nickel est essentiel à la fabrication de l'acier inoxydable et des batteries électriques, indispensables dans la transition énergétique.
Mais le marché du nickel a été chahuté par une forte hausse des exportations indonésiennes, suite à des investissements chinois massifs dans le secteur et à une révolution dans les techniques de raffinage qui ont permis d'utiliser du nickel de moindre qualité pour les batteries.
Les prix du nickel ont chuté d'environ 40% sur la seule année 2023, poussant de nombreux groupes à repenser leurs projets ou à déprécier la valeur de leurs actifs.
"L'industrie du nickel est confrontée à des défis et les prix ont fortement chuté", a déclaré BHP dans un communiqué.
"L'offre de nickel en provenance d'Indonésie a considérablement augmenté et le London Metals Exchange (principale Bourse des métaux non ferreux ndlr) a commencé à accepter des produits du nickel d'origine indonésienne".
"Ces conditions d'exploitation défavorables devraient perdurer pendant une longue période", a ajouté la société.
Le groupe suisse Glencore, rival de BHP, a récemment annoncé qu'il envisageait de se débarrasser de sa participation dans l'usine de production de ferronickel de Koniambo Nickel SAS (KNS) en Nouvelle-Calédonie en raison d'importantes pertes.

Re: Nickel
https://www.mining.com/web/western-aust ... producers/Western Australia offers royalty relief to struggling nickel producers
Reuters | February 17, 2024
Western Australia said on Saturday it would offer royalty relief to nickel producers in a bid to buoy the struggling industry, a day after the metal was classified as a “critical mineral”, paving the way for producers to access billions of dollars in cheap government loans.
Australia wants to build a battery chemicals industry to reap more value from mineral wealth, but its nickel sector faces heavy job cuts after a jump in Indonesian supply saw prices drop 40% in a year.
In a statement on Saturday, Western Australia Premier Roger Cook announced a nickel financial assistance program, which he said would give a 50 percent royalty rebate for 18 months, when prices were below $20,000 per tonne, repayable over 24 months.
“The Cook government will offer royalty relief to Western Australia’s crucial nickel industry, supporting thousands of local jobs as well as the state’s vision of becoming a global battery minerals processing hub,” the premier’s statement said.
Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King on Friday placed nickel on the critical minerals list, meaning nickel companies will have access to financing under Australia’s $2.6 billion Critical Minerals Facility which offers low interest loans, and related grant programmes.
Weak nickel prices have forced Australia’s high cost producers to announce several writedowns and restructures, and analysts said last month it will force a rethink by top global miner BHP Group on its nickel strategy this year.

https://www.mining.com/bhp-considers-cl ... e-decline/BHP considers closing Western Australia nickel operations amid price decline
Staff Writer | February 15, 2024
BHP announced on Thursday that it is considering closing its Western Australia Nickel operations amid a sharp fall in prices.
The miner said it could place Nickel West into care and maintenance and that it was assessing the phasing and capital spend for the development of the West Musgrave project, acquired as part of the OZ Minerals transaction last year. The project held a value of $1.2 billion at the time of acquisition.
Nickel prices fell 40% in the last year as Indonesian supply jumped, causing restructures and writedowns at nickel mines across Australia.
“This is an uncertain time for the Western Australia nickel industry and we are taking action to address the current market conditions,” BHP CEO Mike Henry said in the statement. “We are reducing operating costs at Western Australia Nickel and reviewing our capital plans for Nickel West and West Musgrave.”
BHP has indicated a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $2.5 billion against the carrying value of Western Australia Nickel, encompassing both the Nickel West operations and the West Musgrave project.
This impairment results in the reduction of Western Australia Nickel’s net operating assets carrying value to a negative $300 million, which includes closure and rehabilitation provisions totaling around $900 million.
Nickel West’s Kambalda concentrator will be placed into care and maintenance in June 2024 as Wyloo Metals, controlled by Australian billionaire Andrew Forrest, decided to suspend its Cassini and Northern Operations mines from May 31.
The Cassini and Northern Operations mines provide the majority of ore feed into the Kambalda concentrator and it will be no longer viable for Nickel West to continue operating the milling circuit after those mines cease operating.

https://www.mining-technology.com/news/ ... l-project/Horizonte’s Araguaia Nickel Project cost surges to $1bn
The revised estimate for the project indicates an 87% increase from the previous capital expenditure (capex) budget of $537m (£426.5m).
February 20, 2024
Horizonte Minerals has disclosed a significant jump in the estimated capital required to complete its Araguaia Nickel Project in Brazil.
The preliminary results of a cost-to-complete (CTC) estimate and schedule review indicate that the project will now require nearly $454m to construct, commission and deliver the first metal.
The company noted that the revised estimate at completion for the Araguaia project stands at $1bn, marking an 87% increase from the previous capex budget of $537m.
Horizonte anticipates that the project will achieve mechanical completion by Q1 2026.
The review was conducted by G Mining Services (GMS), a company with expertise in mining construction and engineering.
GMS is responsible for the construction of the Tocantinzinho gold project in Brazil and has a track record of successful mining project completions, including Lundin Gold‘s Fruta del Norte Project in Ecuador and Newmont Mining’s Merian Mine in Suriname.
In response to the revised CTC, Horizonte is engaging with its major shareholders and senior lenders to secure a full funding solution, expected to be in place by Q2 2024.
The company is also in discussions to restructure its debt facilities and is actively seeking additional investment from both existing and new potential investors.
Horizonte said it is committed to working closely with its financial partners to address the increased capital requirements and ensure the project’s progression.
Horizonte interim CEO Karim Nasr said: “Since our last update, a significant volume of work has been completed to develop a new Project Execution Plan, develop a realistic mine plan and business plan, all while continuing to proactively engage with the company’s cornerstone shareholders, senior lenders, vendors and contractors as well as the community and local authorities.
“While the new cost-to-complete is higher than previously announced by the company, it is now built on solid methodologies, which is a testament to the hard work undertaken to date by the whole Horizonte team.
“The company is pleased to partner with G Mining Services, who have a track record of success in the region and are currently building the Tocantinzinho project with G Mining Ventures in Para state. The company is now in a position to properly assess its ability to finance and complete the Araguaia Nickel Project (Line 1) and bring it into production.”

Lifezone Metals has announced a two-phase development plan for its Kabanga nickel project located in north-west Tanzania.
According to the company, the new plan for the Tanzanian nickel project will form the base case of its definitive feasibility study (DFS).
The DFS, which is currently underway, evaluates the technical specifications and economic business case of the Kabanga underground nickel-copper-cobalt Mine, Kabanga concentrator and Kahama hydromet refinery.
It is scheduled to be completed by the end of Q3 2024.
Lifezone Metals stated that the mine planning is also underway, including the deployment of modifying factors to establish the economic viability of mineral reserves, with various major capital items tendered.
The design work and mine planning of the Kabanga nickel project supports an estimated operation of 3.4 million tonnes per year in total. This includes a 1.7 million tonne per year phase 1 and an additional 1.7 million tonne per year phase 2 expansion.
Lifezone Metals CEO Chris Showalter said: “We have made solid progress advancing the Kabanga Definitive Feasibility Study, which is progressing both on-time and on-budget, with activities occurring across various countries (Tanzania, South Africa and Australia).
“Ongoing refinement of the development plan and metallurgical testing is aimed at maximising the net present value of the Project while optimising capital outlays.”
Lifezone Metals acquired the Kabanga nickel project in 2021. The Tanzanian project will become a mine-to-metal mining operation producing battery-grade nickel, copper and cobalt.
The Kabanga concentrator test work conducted showcased high recoveries of nickel, copper and cobalt to concentrate, said the modern metals company.
Besides, Lifezone Metals said that the Kahama hydromet refinery will enable in-country beneficiation of nickel, copper and cobalt with low carbon dioxide and zero sulphur dioxide emissions.

https://www.canadianminingjournal.com/n ... r-project/Glencore banks on Anuri mine to extend life of Raglan nickel-copper project
By Marilyn Scales February 27, 2024
Glencore (LSE: GLEN) has inaugurated the Anuri mine, which will lengthen the Raglan nickel-copper project’s life for at least 20 years. The company says this is undertaking highlights its ongoing commitment to the local communities in which it operates.
The mine’s name Anuri, which means “wind” in Inuktitut, was chosen by a committee of Raglan employees. The mine is part of the Sivumut or “moving forward” project in Nunavik.
Glencore director of projects, geology and exploration Jan-Francois Verret said the project was a challenge on every level. “… particularly given the pandemic, the Arctic climate and numerous logistical challenges. Nevertheless, we completed the Sivumut project ahead of schedule, under budget and with everyone's safety at the heart of every step. We achieved this through outstanding collaboration within our team and with our partners."
The Raglan mine began operations in 1997. It was the first mining project to sign an impact and benefits agreement with the local Indigenous bands. With the Sivumut project, Glencore has continuously improved the Raglan agreement, particularly in the area of land use, culminating in the current ESG protocols that meet Quebec’s provincial environmental act and the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement.
The Sivumut project is composed of two phases: Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Raglan mine. Phase 2 consists of the expansion of an existing mine, the Qakimajurk mine, and the opening of a new underground mine, the Anuri mine project. Mining is expected to take place from 2020 to 2035. The extension of the Qakimajurk mine, known as project 8, was completed in 2021.
The Sivumut project lies entirely within the property boundaries of the Raglan mine. All mining will take place underground to reduce the surface footprint of the activities. Existing infrastructure is leveraged – the concentrator, housing, port facilities at Deception Bay, airport, roads, and all water treatment systems.
The Raglan project has proven and probable reserves of 15 million tonnes grading 2.54% nickel, 0.72% copper and 0.06% cobalt. Reserves are included in the measured and indicated resource, which totals 44 million tonnes at 2.51% nickel, 1.96% copper, and 0.05% cobalt.

Re: Nickel
Le surplus de Nickel Indonésien fait baisser les cours et rend prés de 50 % des mines de Nickel non rentables.
https://www.mining.com/web/nickel-faces ... rofitable/Nickel faces existential moment with half of mines unprofitable
Bloomberg News | February 26, 2024
Many of the world’s biggest nickel mines are facing an increasingly bleak future as they wake up to an existential threat: a near limitless supply of low-cost metal from Indonesia.
With roughly half of all nickel operations unprofitable at recent prices, the bosses of the largest mining companies last week sounded a warning that there was little prospect of a recovery.
The potential collapse of nickel mining from Australia to New Caledonia comes at a time when western governments are scrambling to secure the supply chains needed to decarbonize the global economy. But in an ironic twist, Indonesia’s coal-fired nickel output is pricing out greener metal that’s so far failed to command a market premium.
Wresting control of strategic metals from China has become a focal point of Joe Biden’s administration. Yet while US officials have dashed around the world looking to strike deals for materials such as cobalt and copper, the heaviest reverse has come in Chinese-backed Indonesian nickel, a key component of electric vehicles.
Indonesia now accounts for more than half of world supply, with the potential to reach three-quarters of all production toward the end of the decade.

https://www.agenceecofin.com/metaux/220 ... lectriquesLa Tanzanie approuve la construction d’une raffinerie de nickel pour le marché des véhicules électriques
Agence Ecofin 22 mars 2024
Le nickel est l’un des minéraux essentiels à la transition énergétique, en raison de son utilisation dans les batteries de véhicules électriques. Alors que la Tanzanie veut rejoindre le cercle des principaux producteurs africains du métal, le pays s’active pour transformer localement la production.
En Tanzanie, Lifezone Metals a annoncé le 21 février l’obtention d’une licence pour exploiter une usine de traitement pour le cuivre, le nickel et le cobalt. Installé dans une zone économique spéciale dans le district de Kahama, le site servira prioritairement à raffiner la future production du projet de nickel Kabanga, afin d’alimenter le marché des batteries électriques.
Lors d’une visite en Tanzanie il y a un an, la vice-présidente des États-Unis Kamala Harris déclarait que l’installation serait la première usine de production de nickel de qualité batterie du pays. Prévue pour entrer en production d’ici 2026, la raffinerie servira aussi à d’autres compagnies minières présentes en Tanzanie et obligées d’exporter les concentrés de métaux vers des raffineries à l’étranger, selon le ministre des Mines Anthony Mavunde.
« L’investissement de la raffinerie multi-métaux va redonner vie au district de Kahama et à la région de Shinyanga en augmentant les possibilités d’emploi formel et informel pour les citoyens », a ajouté le commissaire régional de Shinyanga, Anamringi Macha.
Pour rappel, le projet de nickel de Kabanga et la future raffinerie sont détenus par une coentreprise contrôlée à 84 % par Lifezone Metals, contre 16 % d’intérêts pour le gouvernement tanzanien. Une étude de faisabilité définitive devrait être achevée pour la future mine d’ici le troisième trimestre 2024.
