Will the electric ev + battery sector prevail in Canada ?
If battery plants are slated in Ontario, Quebec who will
feed them the battery metals ( Ni, Co, Cu )
if current juniors are not even at the permitting stage in Canada ?
See the anomaly ?
Hard not to think,
Canadian nickel juniors haven't been fed the, carrot.
While dirty indo nickel swoon's in and feed the, battery plants.
SOLUTION ?
Change one's mind set from - wait for better nickel markets to....
Pioneer the new - Hydrogen energy markets.
Hydrogen =
Heat Hydrogen =
Electricity Hydrogen =
Methanol PLATINUM + PALLADIUM + NICKEL
= Hydrogen Production
How would a junior fast track to jump in this new Energy Sector ?
BC is investing billions into... all sorts of Hydrogen energies, even pilot
projects for - transports.
BC =
YUKON'S NEIGHBOR HAVE SULPHIDE SURFACE VEINS ?
30 - 50 kilometers of veins ?
Veins that run upto 50 m in depth ?
Exotics and other minerals like copper
to bolster a rich grade concentrate ?
TRENCH MINING
pocket mine the veins at surface
50,000 meters ( 50km of exposed veining )
x 20m deep
x 3 meters wide ( northern viens run up to 20m - 30 m wide.
x 2.7 ore weight
=
8,100,000 tonnes
x 20/g tonne plat eq ( high grading with exotics ) ???
= 162,000,000 grams ~ 31.1 ( oz conversion )
= 5,209,003 oz x $950 usd
= $
4,948,552,850 billion MINE COST / PROCESSING ?
Similar to inexpensive placer mining
= $500/ tonne ?
ADVANTAGES ?
Would need a massive mine plant costing billions
Could be real cheap to start up
Make own concentrate / just target the sulphide veins
Very minimal silicates
Most all sulphides / just trenching out veins
= affords higher grams per tonne
Example -
Miner drill intercepts 0.8m of .40 grams Pl 0.50 grams Pt + several exotics
Since its a crosscut drill intercept majority of the 1 tonne would be waste ores
Tack on less than a meter wide intercept more grade deduction
Versus
Channeling only sulphide high grade with exotics and ( Ni, Co, Cu )
Each tonne of just high grade has no waste ores
Further refining to make the ore into higher grade per tonne
Pulling iron out = condensing all the more = cheaper to ship out = higher payables
or... perform own separation and own melt or electrolysis.
Minin plant / Mini electrolysis
HURDLES ?
Would all the sulphide veins have consistent grades ?
What if some veins contained no plat group or exotics ?
There's MEGA veining all at surface.
There's machines out there that can trench and mow through rock like butter
At surface easy to transport out using smaller eqpt.
Would need 200/tonne trucks.
Could it be done ?
If it could.... and team with BC to supply ( or other ) using plats + nickel + cobalt
for cathode / anode hydrogen production = gas plants = elec plants = methanol fuel
It would elevate the junior out of the controlled nickel markets.
Into energy markets.
Wellgreen has mega kilometers of, veining.
The mountain i called = Sulphide mountain ( previous posts )
has a MAIN VEIN feeding right to the UG Mine area.
Highlighted in yellow.
So many i didn't highlight so others can see without the yellow overlay.
Bottom image shows the Lina Vein strike.
North side of mine.... some veins are really fat.
15m 20m or more wide.
I only factored 3 meter wide veins.
20m wide vein would host far deeper sulphides.
Thicker mineralization.
Quasi ( numerous veing outcrop )
North of UG mine. 3rd image
Remind you of anything ?
How about the last image showing Wellgreen with similar exposed
tracks all over the surface. Maybe another has thought of mining the veins
and preexposed the veins by removing the surface overburdden = preprepping ?
Again,
could be a great idea.
Just sharing my thoughts - offering solutions to junior
solutions that shift the junior to fresh new energy sectors away from
the nickel, copper market games.
Cheers...
Post is not investment advice.
It's a visionary idea post.
World needs the artsy, futurists...
it's how the rich get richer using inventive ideas.
Money needs the = brains.
