New Massive Nickel Sulfide Targets
Blackstone drilling targeting new opportunities within the Ta Khoa district has identified Massive Sulfide Vein (MSV), Semi-Massive Sulfide Vein (SMSV) and Net-textured Sulfide (NTS) mineralisation.
  • At the Suoi Phang prospect (refer Figures 2, 3), drill hole SP22-01 has intersected 2.95m of sulfide (including MSV, SMSV and NTS) with Portable XRF readings indicating the presence of up to 20% Ni (refer Table 1, Table 3, Table 4 and Appendix 1)
  • At the Suoi Chanh prospect (refer Figure 4), the second drill hole SC22-02 has intersected SMSV consistent with the Blackstone Electromagnetic (EM) targeting.

Resource Drilling

Blackstone has continued to drill its most advanced MSV deposits (Ban Chang & King Snake), primarily focusing on upgrading the current resources (refer ASX announcement 23 December 2021) into a higher confidence category. At King Snake, the most recent drilling indicates potential for the deposit to continue to plunge further west and at depth (refer Image 1, Figure 7, Figure 8 & Table 2).

3 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. While this environment has been tough for nickel companies, some 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 industry is one reason nickel's future looks bright further into the future.

“Global nickel consumption is expected to increase due to recovery of the stainless steel sector and increased usage of nickel in electric vehicle batteries. Batteries now account for almost 17 percent of total nickel demand, behind stainless steel," Ewa Manthey, commodities strategist at financial services firm ING, said in the lead-up to 2024.
