And this Q+A with Queensland Pacific Metals’ (ASX:QPM) MD and CEO Dr Stephen Grocott, who says when battery producers look at the ESG credentials of nickel going into their products, the waste produced by HPL plants should be a major sticking point.
– For every 50kg on nickel in an EV around 5 tonnes of tailings are produced
– @QLDPacificMetal $QPM has its sights set on zero waste from its TECH hub
– An End of Waste Code means residue would be recognised as a resource – not wastehttps://t.co/2Cs1AYftAI pic.twitter.com/wSPYXVhAhS— Stockhead (@StockheadAU) May 16, 2022

Up somewhere around 80% yeserday was Havilah Resources (ASX:HAV). That’s after hungry mid-tier player Oz Minerals (ASX:OZL) announced plans to pay HAV up to $405m for the flagship 1.1Mt copper, 3.1Moz gold, and 23,200t cobalt ‘Kalkaroo’ project in South Australia.
HAV has signed up to a binding term sheet with OZL to potentially sell its Kalkaroo copper-gold project for $205 million.
On top of that, $65m could be paid upon a 30% uplift in Kalkaroo’s resource estimate, as well as “a copper price linked contingent payment in each year of production up to a maximum cumulative amount of $135 million”.
That’s $405m all up.
OZ Minerals has 18 months to decide whether it will acquire the project.
Kalkaroo is at pre-feasibility study stage and is potentially one of Australia’s largest undeveloped open pit copper-gold deposits, right next to OZL’s existing operations.
