Hi monark
Perhaps yo can also say how much a nickel concentrator costs to build, and include in the Capex estimate the development of underground mines inclusive of dewatering systems , sub stations , vent fans, jumbos and HV networks to power these drilling machines, winders.
And aoso inform people how a sulphide nickel concentrator uses not only expensive to operate underground mines but deep pit hard rock mining both of these mining means use the drll and blast method to mine thd hard rock ore.
Then after all this and processing thru a concentrate the product is a 12-20% nickel in concentrate product that must be sold to a third party for further processing to obtain a final nickel or cobalt metal product. For this concentrate product about 75-80% lme nickel price is earned and the producer normally pays all shipping costs to the third oarty refiner who has paid for the concentrate.
Perhaps you should have told all here that is the costs and payments to a sulphide producer which is why laterites that produce a final product are competitive with the sulphide miners.
