RE:GGI vs BAR - Nickel Sulfide

RE:GGI vs BAR - Nickel SulfideThere is a third mineral for nickel: awaruite.  It is a nickel-iron compound that comes in two flavours Ni2Fe and Ni3Fe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awaruite

I'll tell you bluntly that the Grasset nickel resource is too deep and currently too small.  And there are no other surface expressions in the area.  Wanger spent a lot of money looking for these.

When I say too deep, I mean it could only be developed as an underground mine.  But the resource is too currently small to warrant underground development.

The problem is that the risk of the required deep drilling to explore for additional nickel sulfide at depth is too great for a junior.  It might not even be attrative to a major, and certainly not at $5 nickel.  BAR will sink or swim on the basis of its gold reserves.

Channey, how would you compare GGi’s find (so far) against Grasset, both Nickel Sulfides? Perhaps it’s too early to tell since they obviously have a lot more drilling to do for a RE. What is interesting is that GGI traded for 5 years in a .08-.15 range. Then in June it went from .15 to now 3.45 in a 5 month period! On what News – Nickel? They made it sound like they found a mountain full of high grade Nickel Sulfide, good marketing on their part even if it’s yet to be proven.
I was looking for some video on the recent Gold and Silver Summit but couldn’t locate anything(perhaps to early). Did run across some older material – thought I’d toss it out for folks that might have missed seeing  these .

Nickel Laterites: Low grade, bulk-tonnage deposits that make up 62.4% of current production. Nickel Sulfides: Higher grade, but rarer deposits that make up 37.5% of current production. Many laterite deposits are used to produce nickel pig iron and ferronickel, which are cheap inputs to make Chinese stainless steel. Meanwhile, nickel sulfide deposits are used to make nickel metal as well as nickel sulfate. The latter salt, nickel sulfate, is what’s used primarily for electroplating and lithium-ion cathode material, and less than 10% of nickel supply is in sulfate form.
