More nickel sulphide DD:

Brief article on Canada's strategic need to expand nickel sulphide exploration and production at http://www.canadianminingreview.com/2011/03/nickel-exploration.html . Highlights:

Major nickel producers are simply not willing to invest in a 10-year effort to locate new greenfields deposits. Such an effort could, however, be led by a number of innovative junior exploration companies working together in a consortia. They have a great story to tell potential investors. Here's how the story line could go:

Nickel sulphides have a much lower ecological footprint than the energy-hungry, water-gulping, land-hungry laterite producers in Indonesia, New Caledonia, Madagasgar and Australia.

Canada has a surplus of low-carbon-emitting hydro electric power and can therefore produce the lowest carbon-emittting nickel in the world provided significant nickel sulphide deposits can be located for long-term reserves.

These two advantages alone would make sulphide nickel mining in Canada lower cost than any laterite nickel operation in the world, especially when some form of carbon tax or global carbon emissions trading system becomes reality worldwide.
