Slide 6: Nickel Consumption
NICKEL CONSUMPTION “BATTERIES ARE NOW THE SECOND LARGEST USE & FASTEST GROWING SOURCE OF DEMAND FOR NICKEL” • Batteries consumed around 370kt of primary nickel in 2021 – increase of 240% over the last 5 years • It is estimated that 1.5 to 2.5Mt/y of new battery-grade nickel could be required globall
Slide 7: Electric Vehicle to Drive Demand Growth for Decades
ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO DRIVE DEMAND GROWTH FOR DECADES • EV automobile growth is now ‘how fast?’ – commitments made by EU, China and now the US to support the required infrastructure • All of the major automobile companies have committed to hybrid and EV vehicles • Forecast sales for electric vehicles
Slide 8: Nickel Supply Crunch
NICKEL SUPPLY CRUNCH “NICKEL CREEK IS PART OF A SMALL GROUP OF LARGE-SCALE DEPOSITS ABLE TO DELIVER LONG-TERM SUPPLY” • It typically takes 5-7 years to take a project from a PEA level to production • Concern with the environmental impact of laterite sourced nickel for ‘green’ EV market • HIGH-GRADE
Slide 9: Historical Nickel Price – Must Rise to Incentify Supply
HISTORICAL NICKEL PRICE – “MUST RISE TO INCENTIFY SUPPLY” • The long-term view on nickel price needs to increase in order to make low-grade sulphide projects economic and ensure new production is ready for 2025-2030 • Otherwise, there is a risk that the nickel price will spike similar to the 2006-20
