In our first podcast of 2024, Editor Stuart Fieldhouse speaks with Giga Metals CEO & Chairman Mark Jarvis about the company’s nickel resources in Canada.
Giga Metals [TSXV: GIGA] is a Canadian explorer which is working in a JV structure with Mitsubishi Corp on the Turnagain nickel project in British Columbia. It is already rated as one of the lowest carbon and most environmentally friendly nickel projects in the world.
Last year Giga Metals put out an extremely interesting PFS (Pre-Feasibility Study) which noted typical annual output for Turnagain at over 37,000 tonnes per year and a 30 year project life. The nickel on site has been analysed as 18% high grade concentrate. Giga’s mineral resources statement includes 1,574m tonnes of measured and indicated resources, and 1,164m tonnes inferred.
On the podcast we go beyond Giga Metals itself to talk about how to invest successfully in mining stocks, the prospects for nickel generally, and also the changing appetite in North America for resources like Turnagain.
