"OZ is considering selling a minority stake in West Musgrave (WA Ni & copper mine) and Mr Cole said he was deliberately preferring to speak to suitors that manufactured cars, batteries and similar products.

'Ultimately, there will be a structural pricing difference between companies that can produce clean, green metals for the future that come from safe jurisdictions with no modern slavery implications and have very good reputations and relationships with their stakeholders, to those groups that cannot produce clean green commodities,' he said.

'We are hearing from the groups we are speaking with, and these are car manufacturers, battery manufacturers, intermediate connectors and various businesses that sit in that space. They are starting to demand traceability of these commodities through the value chain because their customers are seeking that assurance.

We are really only interested in talking with potential partners who can help us establish that traceability of clean green nickel from the ground, clean green copper from the ground all the way through to an end user product.' ”
