Nickel Creek Platinum Corp T.NCP

Alternate Symbol(s):  NCPCF

Nickel Creek Platinum Corp. is a Canada-based mining exploration and development company. The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration and evaluation of nickel and platinum group metals (PGM) mineral properties in North America. Its flagship asset is its 100%-owned nickel-copper PGM project, located in the Yukon Territory, Canada (Nickel Shaw Project). The project is in the southwest of Canada's Yukon Territory, approximately 317 kilometers (km) northwest (NW) of the capital, Whitehorse. The Nickel Shaw Project is a large undeveloped nickel sulphide project, with a unique mix of metals including copper, cobalt and platinum group metals. The Nickel Shaw Project has access to infrastructure, located three hours west of Whitehorse via the paved Alaska Highway, which further offers year-round access to deep-sea shipping ports in southern Alaska. The Company also maintains environmental baseline activities, considers optimization alternatives and seeks other opportunities.

WASTE ORES PROFITS ?

WASTE ORES PROFITS ?Lots of Subjects -

14% iron can support 2 concentrates based on 46% Fe / each con

2023 PFS has 6 concentrate examples.
Under the concentrate chart it shows equations for
4 - bulk con ( eq 1, 2, 5, 6 )
2 - Cu - ( eq 3, 4 ) bulk con not shown

Phase 2 Metallurgy Test

Example -
Head Grade = 0.29 gpt Pd
Recovery = 53.9%
= 0.156 Pd grams recovery factored

Nickel Copper Separation Commercial Scale
Cu Concentrate
Pd = 2.6 grams

2.6g ~ 0.156 g
= 16.6 tonnes processed

This same Copper Commercial recovery columb
Head Grade = 0.15% Cu
Recovery 59.6%
= 0.089% Cu recovery factored
x 16.6 tonnes
= 1.47 % Cu

How is it....
18% copper ?

In order to achieve 18% copper the ore grade would have to be,
18% ~ 16.6 tonnes
= 1.08 % copper per tonne

437 million tonnes x 1.08% copper
= 4,719,600 tonnes
x 2200  lbs
=
10,383,120,000   billion lbs ???

I've seen other junior met studies where extraction ends up
with higher grades than initial - head grade.
Points to - ore is richer than lab assays
MET assays or Extraction can reveal different grades.

Which begs,
if most recoveries are over 50%
Why are the payable metals - 25% recovery or less ?

2.4 billion lbs Ni
turns to,
614.3M lbs nickel   ???
= 25% recovery   ???


What does Wellgreen look like again ?
Could this green coloration = Copper Malachite ?
In my former post - pdf - reveals Qill area with vergy good copper / nickel grades.

WASTE ORES
 
Base ore mining cost @1330m = C$1.99/t,


Base waste mining cost @1330m = C$2.26/t


Why factor both ?
Should be just cost to mine each ore tonne.
Then, removal cost to pit.

Deposit = Ore body
One category of, cost to mine each tonne - period.
It's not being processed....or is it ???

I don't see CNC or FPX with waste ore mining cost.
Hmmm.


NCP's 6 eq concentrates is.... not explained in PFS very well.
Sure... it shows the equations...
But.. which concentrates did they use 2 cons, 3 cons, all 6 ?


Which brings this subject to, post title.
Waste ores.

If not enough iron to support no more than 2 concentrates.
What if CO2 played a far more profitable role ?

Magnesium Markets Will Grow = 6x larger 2030

What other market will grow ?
Ferrosilicate

By Default - if one seq co2 in Mg silicates what would result ?
- Nickel carbonate
- Magnesium Carbonate
- Silicon Carbonate


CO2 Silicon = Silicon Carbide

The other day... i heard they want to decarbon iron.
Would it be prepping for... silicon carbide loaded with carbon ...?

Carbon strengthens steel.
Too much weakens.

Could steel market be readying itself for an influx of
enmass silicon carbonate ?


The Silicon Carbide price in United States decreased during Q1 2023 to
1,523 USD per metric ton

Magnesium Carbonate is 895.402USD/MT

That former post containing pdf,
revealed TiO 10+% in carbonates.

Titanium is nonferro.
Like to run with carbonates and aluminum.


Cheers....
