By successfully demonstrating a third pathway for utilizing our ultramafic deposits to capture and store carbon – in addition to the IPT Carbonation and NetCarb processes – we are expanding the tools available for large-scale decarbonization" said Mark Selby, CEO of Canada Nickel. "The direct injection approach, which is implemented prior to mining, has the potential to lower future mining costs by pre-conditioning and fracturing the rock mass, making it less energy intensive to blast and process during crushing and grinding. The results also leverage portions of ultramafic deposits that lack economically recoverable minerals, turning them into valuable assets for environmental carbon removal."","length":847,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Dr. Ukar added, "The Crawford in-situ mineralization field test shows that carbon capture doesn't have to be an add-on to mining—it can be built in from the very beginning.
