Crawford nickel project gains remarkable momentum, says Selby

With the announcement of the results from a bankable feasibility study (BFS) for Crawford, he highlights that a production decision for what will be a large-scale producer of critical minerals is less than two years away.

“Crawford is poised to be a leader in the energy transition through the large-scale production of critical minerals, including nickel and cobalt, and is expected to become the sole North American producer of chromium, while also supporting Canada’s climate objectives through industrial-scale carbon capture and storage,” says Canada Nickel Company CEO Mark Selby.

Canada Nickel’s next milestones will be to obtain permits, to develop a financing package and to move towards a production decision by mid-2025, with a goal of first production by the end of 2027.

Crawford has proven and probable reserves of 3.8-million tonnes contained nickel from 1.7-billion tonnes ore grading 0.22% nickel, making it the world's second-largest nickel reserve.
