Nickel 28 Capital Corp. (“Nickel 28” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NKL) (FSE: 3JC0) has released its results for the quarter ended July 31, 2023.

“In the second calendar quarter of 2023, Ramu continued its strong performance of operations maintaining its industry leading low costs and ability to operate at above nameplate capacity” stated Anthony Milewski, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Ramu experienced reduced production during the quarter as it pursued the opportunity to implement certain maintenance procedures and upgrades. Nickel 28’s share of operating profit from Ramu exceeded the previous quarter and exceeded the same quarter last year, notwithstanding the maintenance work that was undertaken.”

Quarterly Highlights

The Company’s principal asset, an 8.56% joint-venture interest in the Ramu Nickel-Cobalt integrated operation in Papua New Guinea (“Ramu”), had another outstanding quarter. Highlights from Ramu and the Company during the quarter include:

  • Production of 7,784 tonnes of contained nickel and 717 tonnes of contained cobalt in MHP during the second calendar quarter, placing Ramu as one of the top producers of mixed hydroxide precipitate (“MHP”) globally
  • Sales of 9,078 tonnes of contained nickel and 822 tonnes of contained cobalt in MHP during the second calendar quarter
  • Actual cash costs for the second calendar quarter, net of by-product sales, of US$3.92/lb. of contained nickel, a 26% increase compared to Q1
  • Share of operating profit from Ramu Nickel Mine of $5.1 million during the second calendar quarter
  • Strong quarter end cash balance of US$6.5 million
  • Total net and comprehensive income of US$0.6 million (US$0.01/share) for the three months ended July 31, 2023, largely as a result of the Company’s share of operating profit from Ramu Nickel Mine and higher costs attributable to the Company’s contested Annual General and Special Meeting
  • Total non-recourse construction debt of US$57.2 million as at July 31, 2023
