Despite the fact that nickel laterite has proven a difficult substance to mine efficiently, Jannink said the company was very hopeful about the project's future.

"We know we can do this on the laboratory scale and we're about to start a larger scale trial … and we're getting an independent laboratory to do some bigger scale testing for us.

"Next month in April we've [also] got a major drilling program at Young, which will both help to prove up the deposit and produce a lot of samples, say five to 10 tonnes, which will go into bigger scale testing. We should have samples ready by June," he said.
