Nickel Shaw low carbon footprint potential
1.Potential for carbon capture.
Significant potential for (Green Nickel) Project
2. Serpentine minerals comprise bulk of tailings generated from NCPs 2018 Mini Pilot Program(MPP) met. Study.
3. Project waste rock also contains serpentine minerals.
4. Lab work being explored to determine capture & rate of CO2 uptake by Nickel Shaw tailings to ( Maximize CO2 credits ) For project.
5. Low potential for acid generation from Nickel Shaw tailings as proved in Mimi pilot program(MPP) low sulphide content (0.06 wt%) produced from (MPP).
All this just makes NCP more attractive and undervalued.
