Five Top Ways to Invest in Nickel’s Expected Fourfold Growth

BayStreet.ca - Tue Apr 25, 2023

Global demand for nickel could grow fourfold over the next few decades, according to the BHP Group, as noted by Bloomberg. In fact, “The world’s biggest miner predicts nine in 10 cars sold by 2040 will be EVs, helping to boost worldwide usage of key battery materials including nickel. The market for nickel is already being transformed as car batteries take over from stainless steel as the major growth market.” That could all be beneficial news for Power Nickel Inc. (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF), BHP Group (NYSE: BHP), Glencore (OTC: GLNCY), Vale (NYSE: VALE), and Canada Nickel Company (OTC: CNIKF).

Power Nickelannounced it has closed the second tranche of the private placement previously announced on March 13, 2023 for 5,170,000 flow-through units of the Company, at a price of $0.50 per FT Unit, for gross proceeds of CAD $2,585,000. The Company has received conditional TSX Venture Exchange approval for the Private Placement.

“We are pleased to close the Second Tranche of our previously announced $5,000,000 Private Placement. " said Power Nickel CEO Terry Lynch. “Once again, we have benefited greatly by having our project in Quebec, where very favorable incentives exist for Critical Mineral projects like our NISK Nickel Sulfide project at Nemaska.” Lynch commented further, “Quebec, Canada is in our opinion the World’s leading jurisdiction for exploration for Critical Minerals. This was further cemented by the recent Quebec and Canadian budgets, which provide substantial incentives to explore Critical Minerals and build mines. In our case, this financing is focused on exploration and we were able to raise twice as much money with half the dilution. Going forward the new, unappreciated by the market incentives, could as example advance as much as $200 Million USD to building a $400 Million Nickel Mine. While significant steps remain before determining if a mine would be viable and the budgets are not yet law, these are substantial incentives which de-risk projects for investors and enable governments to inspire investment and development in the critical mineral sector. We look forward to utilizing these incentives on our quest to build the world's first Carbon Neutral Nickel Mine”.

The Company anticipates closing the balance of the announced $5,000,000 Financing of $706,000 in early May.

“While the Federal and Provincial budgets were overwhelmingly positive for Power Nickel in specific and the Critical Mineral Industry in general, it likely did slow down the investors in the Flow Through sector while they analyzed the changes to Alternative Minimum Tax. Generally, they are back on board but the closing did take longer than planned. Our back-end investors have been waiting patiently to execute and we hope to conclude the financing as originally planned shortly” commented Terry Lynch CEO of Power Nickel.

Full year production guidance is unchanged from that presented at Glencore’s investor presentation in December 2022. “Our Marketing segment continued to perform well through Q1 2023, particularly within energy products, such that extrapolating Q1’s Marketing Adjusted EBIT has us, once again, on track to exceed the top end of our $2.2-3.2 billion p.a. long-term guidance range.”

Canada Nickel Company announced assay results that indicate an expansion of high grade, near-surface nickel mineralization at the Texmont property located 36 kilometres south of Timmins, Ontario. Mark Selby, CEO of Canada Nickel Company, said, "The latest assay results continue to confirm our thesis of near-surface high grade intervals within thick mineralized sections which support the potential for near-term, smaller scale, open pit production. Of particular note, we are excited by the near-surface higher grade interval in hole TEX23-32 in the northern lens which is nearly half a kilometre from the southern high-grade lens. We have now planned additional drilling at the northern lens. We are looking forward to delivering an initial resource and Preliminary Economic Analysis ("PEA") on Texmont this year as its near-term production potential is highly complementary to our large-scale Crawford and regional nickel sulphide project potential."
