ANL presents a unique opportunity to bring four nickel projects up the value curve in a market which has significant potential due to ANL’s Nickel Sulphide resources and their association with clean energy and EV batteries, which are fundamentally supported by the projected growth in EV markets. It is expected that Nickel will remain in high demand for the foreseeable future.
ANL highlights that Mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP), an intermediate nickel product produced from nickel sulphide ore, has been gaining popularity due to a lower environmental impact than Mixed sulphate precipitate (MSP), lower Opex than Ni briquette or oxide, as it is an intermediary in the process, as well as decreasing discounts to the LME Nickel price.
ANL has a portfolio of four nickel projects in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia strategically poised to take advantage of current and future increased demand for Nickel.
ANL has significant potential to increase its attributable resource specifically at the Kunene project which has all the makings of realizing a major nickel discovery in addition to the exploration work done previously at the Kunene project, ANL will initiate a comprehensive exploration program in Q1 2023 which will be focused on increasing the resource base as well as upgrading the Kunene resource classification.
