Blackstone inches closer to Canadian nickel project acquisition
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）Power Materials报道，随着对Wabowden镍项目评估的完成，澳大利亚矿商Blackstone Minerals已将与CaNickel的购买选择权协议延长至2025年1月3日。
Australian miner Blackstone Minerals has extended an option-to-purchase agreement with CaNickel to 3 January 2025 as it finalises Wabowden nickel project evaluations, Kallanish Power Materials reports.
该协议授予Blackstone收购位于加拿大曼尼托巴省汤普森西南部的Wabowden镍矿项目的独家权利。
The agreement gives Blackstone the exclusive right to acquire the Wabowden nickel project located southwest of Thompson, Manitoba, Canada.
Blackstone Minerals常务董事Scott Williamson表示：“Blackstone在寻找战略合作伙伴共同收购Wabowden项目以及优化资产开发战略方面正在取得良好进展。此次延期使公司有时间完成这些关键活动和研究。我们要感谢CaNickel的耐心和与Blackstone合作的意愿，我们期待着推进令人兴奋的Wabowden项目。”
“Blackstone is making good progress in identifying a strategic partner to jointly acquire the Wabowden Project as well as optimising a development strategy for the assets,” states Blackstone Minerals’ managing director, Scott Williamson. “This extension allows the company time to finalise these key activities and studies. We would like to thank CaNickel for their patience and willingness to work with Blackstone as we look forward to advancing the exciting Wabowden.”
汤普森镍矿带覆盖300公里长的矿区，镍产量超过250万吨，由五个矿床（Bucko、Bowden、M11A、Apex和Halfway Lake）组成，总资源量为2.3亿吨，镍含量为0.56%。Bucko被认为是Wabowden最先进、品位最高的矿床。
The area within the Thompson Nickel Belt covers 300 kilometres of strike and has produced more than 2.5 million tonnes of nickel. It is made up of five deposits (Bucko, Bowden, M11A, Apex and Halfway Lake) and has a combined total resource base of 230m t at 0.56% nickel. Bucko is considered the most advanced and the highest-grade deposit at Wabowden.
CaNickel首席执行官Shirley Anthony表示：“我们非常感谢Blackstone在过去一年中为完成Bucko Lake矿的拟议收购所做的真诚努力，并将继续与他们密切合作，在不久的将来促成交易。尽管镍市场在过去16个月里面临挑战，但事实仍然是，Bucko Lake矿是北美品位最高和最先进的硫化镍项目之一，而此时正值关键矿产在全球向绿色能源转型的过程中发挥越来越关键的作用。”
“We are grateful to Blackstone for endeavouring in good faith to complete the proposed purchase of the Bucko Lake Mine over the past year and will continue working closely with them to facilitate a transaction in the near future,” states CaNickel’s chief executive Shirley Anthony. “Despite challenges in the nickel market over the last 16 months, the fact remains that the Bucko Lake Mine represents one of the highest-grade and most advanced nickel sulphide projects in North America at a time when critical minerals are playing an increasingly pivotal role in the global transition towards green energy.”
