Also this year Anglo American, which owns nickel assets in Brazil and Finland, piled into a significant stake in one of Aston’s neighbours Canada Nickel, which is listed on the TSX-V.
“That to me is showing that these Tier 1 companies who are wanting to get into the nickel space are saying ‘let’s think about the next 20 years’,” Bradford said.
“Where are we going to get this metal? Well, let’s scan the market, where are these metal projects.”
Anglo cut a $24 million cheque for 9.9% of Canada, which owns the Crawford project, located 42km north of Timmins in Ontario. With a mine life that could stretch to 43 years, that project is similarly low grade and carries a potential capital bill of up to US$1.2 billion.
