FPX Nickel - Produces Battery-Grade Nickel Sulphate, The Importance Of Skipping A Smelter In the Production Process
Martin Turenne, President and CEO of FPX Nickel (FPX-TSX.V & OTCQB:FPOCF) joins me to discuss the recent production of battery-grade nickel sulphate, from the pilot-scale hydrometallurgy refinery testwork at the Baptist Nickel Project in central BC. This is an upgrade from the 2023 bench-scale testwork.
We discuss the flow sheet for production, which eliminates the smelting stage, thus creating a higher value end product and cutting out a middle man smelting company. I ask how this production factors into the capital estimates to build the project and potential value premiums. We wrap up by looking ahead to the upcoming scoping study expected in the first quarter of next year and how that further de-risks the project.
