australian nickel conference, page-14

Thanks GeoViz.

Sums it up well given we're after a few of these laterite deposits and POS has got the R&D experts on-board already! Now he just needs to drag a couple of those deals in the pipeline across the line.

“Although HPAL has had an up and down history, it is going to be a critical part of the nickel sector’s technology base going forward as 80% of Australia’s nickel resources are hosted in laterite mineralisation.”

“The State hosts numerous and very large, isolated laterite resources. The ability to be able to build stand-alone localised leach pads, especially where you cannot move that material because of the grade but still efficiently and effectively get nickel out at a reasonable price, will change the basis of the nickel industry in Western Australia.”
