The company is currently in the midst of what could be project-defining metallurgical testing. 'Our focus this year is on refining the technical work, taking metallurgical testing to a prefeasibility level and then proceeding into PFS later this year,' she said. With demand for nickel increasing due to its role in lithium batteries, Garrett's strategy since taking over the helm of the company in 2016 is to focus project advancement towards a production decision rather than exploration.
Investors are really starting to move into the nickel-copper space - anything related to electric battery markets - and they see how unique the Nickel Shäw project is with its metal mix, great jurisdiction and access to infrastructure,' she commented. With Garrett stepping-up marketing, the company says the rebrand has been welcomed.
