Canada Nickel Company Inc V.CNC

Selby would fit the bill and CNC could supply ..3 hours away

from Timmins with lots of capacity in the smelter in Sudbury

Seems like a natural fit with his Vale/Inco experience and nickel analyst resume. We could keep Vale max production for decades to come.

[idlefreebird]

endzone , yes Vale or Glencore would be fine ...our location is key 3 hours away from Timmins...you look at Voisey Bays nickel voyage from the mine to the port in tote bags and put on a barge at certain times in the year sent to Montreal unloaded at port put on rail to Sudbury , smelted to a matte then railed from Sudbury to Montreal put on ship and sent to Norway for final prossessing ...end with

Voisey's Bay had a nickel grade that was 5-10x as high as CNC and pretty high copper grades to boot. It was such a different animal that contrasting transportation costs is disingenuous. 

[NoobTube]

Not really.  Ore grade means very little when talking about transportation costs as the concentrater is onsite.  CNC having a much higher grade concentrate and shorter distance to travel  would point to lower costs in getting the nickel to market.

[N3tPr0phet]

Grade means little when talking about transportation costs but a lot when talking about project economics. You're missing the forest for the trees here. Ceteris paribus, the top-line revenue in Crawford's PEA would be 10x higher if the grade were 10x higher. At those margins, you could pay an order of magnitude more in transportation costs than the PEA states and still come out well ahead

[NoobTube]

I'm not missing the forest for the trees.  I called out a falicy.   Sure VB can afford to  ship the same or lower grade concentrate half way across the country.  First by ship to Montreal then by rail to Sudbury yet somehow the same grade or better is somehow  uneconomical to transport between Timmins and Sudbury.  Literally 10km of rail and it can get loaded once

[idlefreebird]

noobtube , the only thing CNC needs is a big a$$ mill the rest is irrelivent...Timmins has several open pits and the latest happens to be right downtown and right beside our hollinger park..actualy it was a 9 hole golf course that was owned by the Hollinger mines ...they built a new bent grass 18 hole course across the street and Goldcorp now Newmount open pit the 9 hole course..still has one year

[NoobTube]

Last time I was up there Algonquin was a pit, lol.  What a nightmare.  I'm not debating the geochemistry of the co2 capture, I'm debating on any fiscal benefits.  

[idlefreebird]

noobtube , as far as i'm concerened carbon capture is a joke there buying land with trees and making money..the way i look at if i we can capatalize on capturing carbon..cha ching ..bottom line ..by the way Agonquin getting better lol it was ranked #2 worst road in Ontario and has now been upgraded...but you would think they would upgrade to mining and forestry standards as the 40 ton mining

[idlefreebird]

noobtube , you are correct..i'm assuming your talking to a troll lol must be on my ignore list...we are talking about shipping the final product wich is concentrate..by the time they bring it from there concentrator to port and load on to ship lol we will have it delivered to Sudbury lol..glta

[N3tPr0phet]

This was your original post. That even with "all those costs" VB was still making money, ergo CNC should be fine.  I replied that when your top-line revenue is 10x (before accounting for an entire copper stream) there's room for additional costs, and that the projects are so different it's like comparing apples and oranges.  This is not a fallacy. What is fallacious

[NoobTube]

Lol.  No not my original post as that's a different poster. By definition you can compare anything to anything, all you have to do is list the similarities and differences.  Watch, apples to oranges.  They're both fruit, round, grow on trees, sweet. Apples have a stem and are red....  see apples to oranges comparison, no problem.

Let's not forget there's still more news to come from bulk testing. Discussions ongoing with Koreans ,OEM, EV car/battery makers as well as steel producers.       Discussions underway with multiple stainless and ferroalloy producers on downstream processing partnership    

[PCGuy10]

Explain to me how shipping this 3 hours will be net zero? It would have to be shipped by rail from Kidd Creek, down to North Bay and over to Sudbury. Or driven by road 1 hour to the rail line at Folyet or Gogama.

[NoobTube]

Even if co2 emissions for transport are put on the cncs shoulders I'm sure the 20 tons of credits per ton of nickel will greatly outweigh the 100 or so grams per kilometre of emissions.

[CEOofEPO]

Electric trains of course. Those magically popped out of nowhere by the way and were not in any way created using oil

[NoobTube]

I see the light now.  How could it possibly be net zero carbon.  With all the steel and aluminum used in transmition lines, the electricity isn't clean.  What if someone used the nickel and iron to make a stainless steel fire pit, that wouldn't be net zero either and it's all Mark Selbys fault.  My sell order is going in now.

Facts don't matter to these neanderthal types Noob. They don't believe anyone about anything, everything is a conspiracy.  Via the EPA: Myth #1: Electric vehicles are worse for the climate than gasoline cars because of the power plant emissions. FACT: Electric vehicles typically have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity
