RE:Pre-Tax NPV Sensitivity AnalysisI should add that the discount rate used for the chart was 8%. NPV(8).
A nickel price of $6.70 is currently required for an IRR of 20%. This is the point where NPV(20) = 0, and the point at which Jayant Bhanari suggest projects can expect to obtain bank financing.

Economics looks better with increasing mining rate. CAPEX for these increased production rates was scaled up in a linear fashion from old PEA.
Other inputs are: Grade of .14%, & Recovery of 85%. The 85% is likely conservative, being the actual maximum obtained by Cliffs using gravity separation. I am expecting better recovery from flotation.
