I'd ring a ding -
Saskatchewan Research Council I'd ask them to build a ( multi - solution bank ) with electrolysis
Using special resins to selectively target - nickel, plats, exotics, cobalt, etc....
I'd utilize Canada's Critical Mineral assistence - 30% for extractives
Which aligns with Canada's approach - collaborating with research + tech
SRC has also built a commercial-scale Solvent Extraction Unit that has six stages of mixers and settlers (each stage has a capacity of ~1,200 litres) and is used to improve the impeller design, process control, and mixing and separation efficiencies. https://www.src.sk.ca/blog/designing-solvent-extraction-cells-rare-earth-element-supply-chain I'd target 200 - 300 tonnes of,
veined sulphies @ surface Other nickel / plat peers don't have the veining @ surface
I'd access the " quartz " mining rights and submit a permit for,
bulk ore testing ( 200 - 300 tonnes )
In one fallow swoop,
i've averted the expence of, billions to spark up mining.
I've formed an alliance with, SRC.
Whereas, SRC now refines my ores.
= my mine costs have reduced to = simple trench and ship to SRC.
2012 wellgreen report
assays are defined into two categories
- 7TD2 = total dissolved using 4 part acid
- 3 B = fire assay
No assays given for, nickel under total dissolved 4 part acid
While, fire assay provides assay results
Therefore, solubilized nickel values would increase
overall, ( total ) nickel value
SUM ?
I have just surpassed other nickel peers in, Canada.
I'm mining on the cheap.
I'm accessing SRC facilities in, Saskatchewan - they refine and make end metals
I'm accessing Canada's 30% extractive - assistence.
Higher recoveries are achieved through,
solution extraction + electrolysis
2200 lbs ( 1 tonne )
x 0.35% nickel
= 7.7 lbs Ni
x 250 raw ore tonnes
= 1,925 lbs Ni
Plus plat group, cobalt, exotics ( copper for wiring )
Hydrogen Production ( electrolyzers / very large fuel cells )

What do these large hydrogen electrolyzers look like ?

Yes, lots of metal plates required for the electroplates.
= thick nickel plates
coated in - plats - reduce dendrite accumilation
Next step ?
Team with a province such as BC who is onboard with, Hydrogen.
Heat - Electricity - Fuels such as, methanol / 95% reduction co2 emmissions.
Hone in on key locations securing - water accessibility / plug into energy hubs / grid
Final step
Find more contract locations, key water zones / close to grids to link in
REPEAT using 200 / 300 tonnes for each NEW hydrogen plant
= Your now an energy company
= Gaining years well ahead of competative peers
= Saving billions for start up vs few hundred tonnes style mining
