Rosie Nickel Sulphide Scoping Study A Platform for Growth
Investor Update - August 2021
Nickel is a key component used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles, a segment that is expected to play a critical role in global decarbonisation.
“Demand for nickel in batteries is estimated to grow by over 500% over the next decade, largely to support the world's rising demand for electric vehicles” - BHP 22 July 2021
