Nickel Price Outlook
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

High-grade nickel sulphide is actually the most important metal in a lithium-ion battery at the cathode, followed by graphite as the anode, with lithium "like the salt on the salad" , according to Tesla’s Elon Musk

“The reality is the supply of lithium is nowhere near as constrained as copper or nickel” , Todd Warren, Colonial First Mutual, Head of Global Resources

==> picture [13 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

There are two types of nickel – Class 1 (99.9% pure) and Class 2 (impure – used for NPI) Nickel market is about 2 Mtpa, split 50/50 into Class 1 and 2

==> picture [13 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

Class 1 comes from sulphide ores and processed laterite ores – suitable for batteries Current LME Stockpiles are ~350,000t (9 weeks) of Class 1 Ni – but now starting to fall

  • Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) has 2,000 moving parts vs. EV = 18

  • ICE 19% efficient energy conversion, EV = 95%

The move from NMC111 to NMC811 battery will increase range by 60% NMC811 re-charges to 80% in 20 minutes

If conversion to NMC811 battery takes place, then Ni demand will increase faster to 33% (600kt) by 2025 (8 years), and 100% (2Mt) by 2030. There simply isn’t this supply of nickel. The growth from 2025 to 2030 will be rapid. Typically we under-estimate the speed of technological disruptions

==> picture [12 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

The move to the EV is obvious, manufacturers are now phasing out ICE cars

Class 1 nickel supply will be in deficit going forward Increase in demand by 2025 from switch to EVs will be 300 – 600 ktpa, triggering a shortage By 2030, will need 1 -2 Mtpa more Class 1 Ni Where will this production come from? Takes 6-8 years to bring a new nickel sulphide mine on stream – projects that are advanced will have the advantage Will need a much higher Ni price to make this happen (>US$20,000/t) – predicted by 2020

Two nickel sulphide projects in WA’s northern goldfields

Fisher East is a new nickel province – discovered in 2013 by Rox

Collurabbie discovered in 2004 by WMC – but relatively unexplored Fisher East and Collurabbie are just 70km apart – project development synergies High grade Mineral Resources of ~ 50,600 tonnes Ni metal @ 2.5% Ni at Fisher East and ~13,500 tonnes NiEq @ 2.3%* at Collurabbie

Low technical risk project :

o Toll milling – truck ore to nearby plant (two plants within 200km)

o Build a plant on site – truck concentrate for sale Decline to underground mine ~70-100m depth Standard underground mining techniques and costs Simple process flow sheet and logistics

Metallurgical recoveries, 80 – 99%, and saleable concentrate grades, 10 - 14% Ni, acceptable Fe:MgO ratios, low As (no penalties) Straight forward project dependent on nickel price Increased resources will increase mine life and project value
