Ann: Aston Minerals Investor Presentation, page-20

Fat fingers that I frequently have sometimes.

I have compared the two resources and while CHN is higher grade (more than double) ASO Ni deposit has a number if significant advantages over CHN (correct these comments if I am wrong)

1. ASO’s extraction of the metals takes just one process (both come out in the same process) while CHN processing with multiple metals is much more complex and expensive

2. Use of low cost environmentally friendly hydro power readily available on grid

3. Ability to earn significant carbon credits - Eg Canada Nickel’s Crawford deposit can earn $3b over life of project

CHN has other benefits over ASO but the above 3 are really major benefits of ASO. I sense that CHN is struggling with the process to extract all the metals at a high recovery rate. I have previously looked at the level of recoveries CHN has been able to achieve overall and they seemed lower than ASO.

I too have shares in CHN - a great deposit which will only get bigger.
