RE:So Nickel is needed for the battery craze? Maybe noNickel is only part of the story here. You have a large resource of the PGMs and Pd is about to set all time highs. Remember that Pt historically is more valued than gold, so its intrinsic value is over $2k.
Just taking the average price of the two at today's spot, it is over $2k an ounce. That is basically what gold was last Summer. So, we are more or less looking at a gold equivalent project of 6 million ounces withouth even considering the nickel or copper offsets.
NCP isn't a one trick pony, there is diversification at play here.
