RE:RE:Ford invests on refining side It doesn't work that way. Is it 120 Kt of MHP or 120 Kt of nickel equivalent. Big difference, like 5x difference in volume. Clean nickel sulfate (1 Ni:5 H2O) vs MHP that is not quite Class 1 but the cost for CAM plants to remove the impurities and transform to Sulfate is apparently economic. This has been known for quite sometime.
Ford has been signalling for at least three years that they were quite comfortable moving forward with thier partners from China in the battery manufacturing space.
I think may have mentioned this before many moons ago, but I fully expect the U.S and Canada to become net importers of MHP nickel from Indonesia. Public record, Vale has been importing matte from Indonesia to Canada. Honestly never would have thought even a few years ago.
V, quit ranting and have some patience. Seriously ffs.
