Blackstone Receives A$3.8M R&D Refund

Blackstone Minerals Limited (ASX:BSX) (“Blackstone”) is pleased to announce that it has received A$3.8 million from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”). The funds, as part of the ATO’s research & development (“R&D”) tax incentive program, were approved in recognition of technical advancements made by Blackstone in the financial year ended 30 June 2022.


The R&D claim reflects the significant investment by Blackstone to develop the Ta Khoa Refinery process. The ATO has recognised Blackstone’s unique strategy to convert nickel concentrate blends into battery products in the form of precursor cathode active material (“pCAM”). The majority of Blackstone’s investment was directed to process development and piloting programs.

The Company expects to have approximately ~$16m cash and cash equivalents at the end of the March quarter including the refund, with full details to be included in the Quarterly Appendix 5B due prior to the end of April 2023.

Authorised by the Managing Director on behalf of the Board.

Nickel Price 2024 Year-End Review

Nickel market activity has been underwhelming for the past couple of years as supply exceeds demand.

This trend continued in 2024's final quarter, with Indonesian supply being the primary force weighing on prices. Indonesia is the largest source of nickel globally, with much output destined for Chinese-owned refineries in the country.

Meanwhile, demand stayed weak as China’s economy continued to sputter. The Asian nation's housing and manufacturing markets are important demand drivers for nickel, which is used in stainless steel products.

5 Best-performing Canadian Nickel Stocks of 2024

After trending down in 2023, nickel prices climbed to a 10 month high in late May of this year. However, they've since pulled back to four year lows. While this environment has been tough, some nickel stocks are still thriving.

Supply is expected to outflank demand over the short term, but the longer-term outlook for the metal is strong. Demand from the electric vehicle (EV) industry is one reason nickel's outlook looks bright further into the future.

Battery nickel demand is poised to triple by 2030, according to Benchmar Mineral Intelligence.
