NICKEL
Australia-listed Centaurus Metals has announced the results of a feasibility study for the Jaguar nickel sulphide project in northern Brazil, highlighting the strong economics from an initial concentrate-only project delivering a long-life production profile at first quartile operating costs.
The study considers openpit nickel sulphide ore over an initial 18-year mine life, delivering nickel sulphide feed to a 3.4-million tonne-a-year conventional nickel flotation plant to produce about 18 700 t/y of recovered nickel metal at a C1 operating cost of $2.30/lb and an all-in sustaining cost of $3.47/lb.
