Based on the engineering work conducted by Ausenco and their 30 year track record - CNC’s PEA has concluded:
“the Crawford Nickel Project would have a mine ore production capacity of 290,000 tonnes per day and a mill ore input capacity of 120,000 tonnes per day. The project would operate for about 41 years.”
Selby Quote:
"We are going to mine rock that is worth $30 a ton and it will only cost us $8 a ton".
120k x $30 x 365 Days = $1.314 Billion or $3.6 million gross revenue per day.
Ausenco is based across 26 offices in 14 countries, with projects in over 80 locations worldwide.

Canada can build an electric vehicle industry worth $48B a year — but it must act now: report
“The key vision of the plan outlined in the report is that Canada would not just become a source of supply of raw materials for export to China, Germany or a factory in Arizona, but an entire industry.”

Minister of Economic Development, Fedeli on $CNC:
"There's so much demand. Nickel is being found north of Timmins, Canada Nickel south of Timmins as well. Lots of development.”
“I think there's lots of room for the precursor to be processed here in northern Ontario and shipped worldwide, for that matter. I think we have enough to do it. And that's our ultimate goal.”

“We’ve got Nickel. Plenty of Nickel. As much nickel as they will ever need”
