RE:RE:RE:This makes me livid - LME chosen winner $56billion revenueOne of the things discussed in these two podcasts is a separate pricing mechanism for nickel sulphate - our product (briquettes) are very amenable to being simply dissloved in sulphuric acid to make this battery precursor. However, there may be cheaper routes to get to this end point that are not presently part of our process - ie giving others an advantage. I would appreciate the insight of thise more familiar with metallurgic processes... If the premium being offered justifies it, can Ft Sask easily produce this product? I imagine there is some cost in making the briquettes - drying / compressing etc. Would we be saving significant inputs skipping this step and going straight to the sulphate? Obviously sulphuric acid adds cost.
