RNC Plans to Double Beta Hunt Nickel Production in 2018 and Resumes Discussions with Financing and Offtake Partners for Dumont Nickel-Cobalt Project

RNC Minerals (TSX: RNX) (“RNC”) is pleased to provide an update on its plans to increase nickel production from the Beta Hunt gold and nickel mine.
Mark Selby, President and CEO, commented:

“Beta Hunt provides excellent optionality from both gold and nickel production. With the much larger scale in gold production (versus a standalone nickel mine), nickel production can be added at much lower cost compared to many other nickel producers in Western Australia.”

RNC anticipates sufficient development will be completed by early 2018 at Beta Hunt to allow mining access to nickel resources in the 1820-1825 Beta area of the mine.
