Ore Supply Agreement Executed With SMGM

Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd (ASX:QPM) (“QPM” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding ore supply agreement (“Agreement”) with SMGM.


Highlights

  • Binding ore supply agreement entered into with Société Minière Georges Montagnat (“SMGM”), a significant New Caledonian mining company, for up to 200,000 wmt per annum.
  • Targeting a typical limonite ore specification of 1.5% Ni and 0.18% Co.
  • Ten year ore supply term.
  • Additional diversification to existing ore supply agreements with Société Le Nickel (“SLN”) and Société des Mines de la Tontouta (“SMT”).
SMGM was one of the original supporters of QPM and the TECH Project and QPM is delighted to have formalised this agreement with SMGM. QPM previously had its ore supply tonnage covered in contracts with SLN (see ASX announcement 1 March 2022) and SMT (see ASX announcement 2 June 2022). However, this agreement with SMGM adds further diversification to QPM’s ore suppliers, providing additional comfort to financiers with regards to security of ore supply.

QPM Managing Director Dr Stephen Grocott commented,

“I am pleased to enter into this agreement with SMGM. We now have agreements with three mining companies in New Caledonia, strengthening our ties to the country and increasing our security of ore supply.SMGM has been a strong supporter of the TECH Project for a long time and we look forward to having a long term partnership that delivers value to both companies.”

SMGM Managing Director Mr. Xavier Gravelat commented,

“Our Company is pleased to provide its ore to a modern and innovative project designed to produce good quality nickel that is respectful of environmental issues. It is a great satisfaction to be able to contribute to the development of a clean and sustainable nickel.”

Nordic Nickel's Rob Wrixon: Positive Metallurgical Results at Hotinvaara Enhance Pulju Project

Nordic Nickel (ASX:NNL) Executive Director Rob Wrixon is enthusiastic about the company’s Pulju project in Finland.

As highlighted by Wrixon, this project stands out due to its rare district-scale potential, particularly within Europe, where such opportunities are seldom found.

“It's about 40 kilometres of known mineralised strike, and it extends to depth as well,” he said, indicating not just surface-level, but extensive possibilities. These factors underline the critical role Pulju could play in fulfilling Europe's growing demand for domestic supply of nickel and cobalt.
