Recently Tsingshan Holding Group announced that it would supply nickel to two customers by converting NPI into nickel matte, which can be further refined into nickel sulphate or Class 1 nickel.

Key Points: 
  • Recently Tsingshan Holding Group announced that it would supply nickel to two customers by converting NPI into nickel matte, which can be further refined into nickel sulphate or Class 1 nickel.
  • I dont believe North American or European automakers would or should be buying products that contain nickel with the expected GHG footprint of this nickel matte production in Indonesia, noted Nickel 28s Chairman, Anthony Milewski.
  • Matte leaching (converting nickel matte to a refined nickel product) is more complex and expensive than dissolving nickel briquettes or powder.
  • In addition, Nickel 28 manages a portfolio of 13 nickel and cobalt royalties on development and exploration projects in Canada, Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Ramus average GHG intensity has been calculated at 15.6 tCO2e/tonne of nickel in MHP.

Key Points: 
  • Ramus average GHG intensity has been calculated at 15.6 tCO2e/tonne of nickel in MHP.
  • In comparison, based on public reporting, other HPAL operations such as Moa Nickel and Ambatovy have Scope 1 + Scope 2 emission intensities greater than 20 tCO2e/t of nickel.
  • Such a reduction would reduce Ramus emission intensity to less than 10 tCO2e/tonne of nickel.
  • In the future Nickel 28 will be introducing greater ESG transparency with respect to its assets in response to investor and industry trends.
