Baptiste Low-Carbon Nickel Project In Canada

The Baptiste nickel project is located in central British Columbia and is being developed by FPXNickel, a nickel mining company based in Vancouver, Canada. It is expected to be a highly profitable, long-life, large-scale, low-carbon mine with unparalleled flexibility to produce both high-grade ferric nickel (60% nickel) for direct use in the stainless steel industry, and further into battery-grade nickel sulfate, cobalt precipitate and copper concentrate products for use in the battery material supply chain.

 

The Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) for the project was completed in September 2023. It is estimated that the initial capital to develop the project is $2.18 billion, with an expected mining life of 29 years.

 

The main product of the Baptiste nickel project is iron-nickel ore, which accounts for approximately 93% of total nickel production. The rest is a by-product of mixed hydroxide precipitate.
