Company Interviews

Fission Uranium is developing the high-grade, near-surface Triple R uranium deposit – part of the multiple award-winning PLS project.

Located in the renowned Athabasca Basin uranium district, PLS hosts the longest mineralized trend in the district and the Triple R is the only existing major, high-grade deposit in the region found at shallow depth.

With an experienced team run by CEO and uranium expert, Ross McElroy, Fission has completed a pre-feasibility study that shows the potential for the Triple R to be among the lowest operating cost uranium mines in the world. The company is currently focused on advancing towards Feasibility.

Meridian Mining UK S aims to become the next mid-tier copper developer and producer in Brazil with its focus on the development of its Cabaçal copper-gold-silver project in the state of Mato Grosso.  The Cabaçal copper-gold-silver project is an advanced stage district-scale VMS deposit, which was discovered in 1983 by BP Minerals. The deposit contains broad zones of coalescing Cu-Au mineralization which starts close to surface and is open at a depth of 175 m whilst extending 2,000 m along strike. 

Power Nickel Inc. is a Canadian exploration and development company focused on the advancement of its Nisk Nickel Sulphide project located in James Bay Canada. The location of the project enables it to take advantage of low-cost, low-carbon hydropower to create a sustainable battery metals operation. The project is 80%-owned by the company, with Critical Elements Lithium Corp. owning the remaining 20%. The project holds a large land position of approximately 20 km in strike length as well as high-grade intercepts of copper, cobalt, palladium, platinum and class 1 nickel. 

2022 will be the 2nd year of a multi-year period of double-digit underlying demand growth.  Actual demand during decade to be eventually constrained by available supply. Stainless low single-digit, but EV only up 36%. Overall demand 6%. Supply growth 15% and ROW supply did grow!

Nickel in surplus (but inventory is supply chain build – not stockpiles). Nickel above $22k most of 2nd half and climbed to $24K+ in Q4. Matte saw strong growth (limited now by consumption). NPI at discount, but matte also at discount. 78% sulphate feed either matte/MHP by year-end

2023 will see the return of double-digit demand growth driven by high growth from EVs, a return to trend demand growth in stainless, and strong growth from alloys.
