Mineral exploration company Bolt Metals Corp. (CSE: BOLT) (OTCQB: PCRCF) (XFRA: NXFE) works
consistently toward carrying out its corporate strategy in 2020 as it continues
to set ambitious milestones to create significant long-term shareholder value
and become a leading international player in the electric vehicle battery metal
sector. This includes preparations to commission and operate a pilot plant in
Canada, which will contain an integrated circuit to produce high-purity nickel
and cobalt strip solutions to develop battery-grade nickel and cobalt.
“2019 was a pivotal year for us, and we’re pleased to carry
this momentum into 2020. Obtaining approval from Indonesia’s Ombudsman is an
important step toward our goal of securing strategic partnerships and
participating in Asia’s growing battery metals supply chain,” Ranjeet Sundher,
CEO of Bolt Metals, stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/dvEOe).
The company carried out large-scale exploration and
development program at its flagship 5,000-hectare, Cyclops Nickel-Cobalt
project, located in Papua Province, Indonesia last year. Drilling identified
significant horizons of nickel mineralization, and bench-scale scoping tests
yielded positive results for processing of this nickel material.
The flagship project, which has an environmental and mining
permit issued, enjoys national, provincial, and local support. The project
license is fully compliant with mining registration processes and will be
transferred into a foreign investment license, where it will be administered by
the central government.
Indonesia is the largest nickel producer on earth with a
mandate to become a global superpower in the international EV and battery
metals supply chain. Global demand for renewable power is fueling a massive
shift from traditional energy supply chain economics to nickel-reliant
lithium-ion batteries, the world’s most widely used power source for portable
applications such as electric vehicles and other high-tech applications.
The usage of nickel in electric vehicle batteries has
increased dramatically over the years due to its exceptional performance,
longevity, and safety. The sharp increase in demand has forced Asian nations,
particularly China as a leading EV manufacturer, to secure large supplies of
the metal. Indonesia accounts for 25% of global nickel supply, making it a
jurisdiction of choice for large nickel consumers, as well as nickel miners and
processors.
To advance its focus on the EV supply chain, Bolt Minerals
recently signed a non-binding cooperative agreement with Chinese tungsten and
cobalt producer Hunan Jinxin1. The agreement has two major
components: Hunan Jinxin having purchasing rights over nickel sulphate and
cobalt sulphate from the Cyclops Nickel-Cobalt Project or other Bolt Metals’
projects, and the possibility of purchasing equity in Bolt Metals or investing
directly in the Cyclops Project.
With offices in Vancouver, Shanghai and Jakarta, and a team
of international capital markets experts, Bolt Metals’ mandate is to acquire
and develop production-grade battery metals opportunities throughout the
Asia-Pacific region, and to become a key participant in China’s rapidly expanding
electric vehicle supply chain. The company employs a vertically integrated
“minerals-to-market” strategy to leverage these assets to their fullest.
