Nickel - Increased use in EV Batteries

Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) & Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium (NCA) batteries dominate the electric vehicle market

The original NMC battery started with a 1-1-1 ratio between the metals, the nickel portion has been steadily rising and is expected to rise to 8-1-110 (nickel-manganese-cobalt)

Nickel will make up 80% of the mass of the batteries used in EVs

Nickel - Rising Demand

70% of Nickel is used as an alloy input in steel production

But it’s usage in electric vehicle production will change dramatically with the rising demand for electric vehicles

Nickel Projects Under Option

Projects optioned from EMX Royalties. 100% interest in projects can be purchased for:

  • On exercise 20 million shares in Kendrick + after 1 year shares to same value
  • Advanced cash royalty payment of US$75,000
  • Further work commitment of US$500,000
  • Up to US$1M of deferred consideration in the event of a feasibility study

 

Little work on projects since 2011

 

ASX Listed Drake Resources had projects 2012-2015, defining resources at Stormyra and Dalen Prospects on the Espedalen Project

 

EMX acquired the projects in 2018 and concluded an option agreement with Pursuit in February 2020

 

1848 – 1918 Espedalen Project was mined with >100,000t of 1.5% Ni, 0.4% Co extracted

 

Norway has a long term involvement with the nickel industry continuing to this day
