The company also proposes to complete construction of and operate a mill demonstration plant with a capacity of 10t a day for processing of sulphide ores.
The project has a large number of past gold workings and it is now clearly prospective for massive sulphide ores in an area extending over 10 kilometres.
Additional advantages are that the mines mostly contain sulphide ores, which are comparatively easy to concentrate and smelt, and that labor costs are low.
Most of the world nickel reserves are in form of laterite nickel ores, but most nickel has been historically produced from nickel sulphide ores, but this is changing.
