Anyone have a research report on costs etc. Cant find anything on website or internet. Below is all I could find. Perhaps others could add/correct information. TY
Non-JORC resource: 159mtn @ 1.045% nickel and 0.07% cobalt

talks about $33 million cost.
Shallow resource
Talks about:
1mt TPA x 1% NI x $15,000 = US150M revenue plus co about 70M
Then 2mtpa x 1% NI x $15,000 = US300M revenue plus co about 140m

Seems to be average grade and very large tonnage compared to other mines-see above from page 16

“Even at today’s nickel prices we’ll have a profitable mine, whereas very few around the world can at this stage of the cycle,” he said.
This was when Ni was about $8,600. If still true a margin of at least $6,400at todays prices of $US15,000
Would mean gross profit of 1mt= $US64million 2mt =US128million
2mt US128M for increase in nickel price. Then add about 90million for increase in co price since 2015 = US$220million or AU290Million EBIT
These are obviously back of the envelope figures and rely on comments made in above links but we have to start somewhere.
From what I have read the area is large, shallow, of average grade and low capital cost.
