13. Projects – Ravensthorpe Nickel Project
• Located in Western Australia
• Open pit mine using conventional
drill and blast, load and haul
system
• Processing plant using proven
technology
• Three nickel-laterite deposits
estimated to contain sufficient
reserves and resources to support
a mine life of more than 30 years
13

14. Projects – Ravensthorpe Nickel Project
• Commissioning as planned
towards continuous operations
before the end of 2011
– First production achieved Oct 4, 2011
– Re-constructed plants consistently
achieving design throughputs
– Both Atmospheric Leach and
Pressure Acid Leach plants
successfully brought on line
• Production & cost estimates:
– 39,000 tpy for the first five years
– 28,000 tpy over the life of mine
– C1 cost of ~$7.00 per lb @ current
sulphur prices
14

15. Projects – Kevitsa Nickel/Copper Project
• Located in northern Finland
• Open pit mine and conventional
processing to produce two
concentrates:
– nickel-cobalt-PGE-concentrate grading ~
12% nickel
– copper-PGE-gold concentrate grading ~
28% copper
• Initial throughput of 5 million tpy
with built-in expansion
capabilities
• At initial throughput, mine life of
