Nickel 28 Capital is a streaming and royalty company with an 8.56 percent joint venture interest in the Ramu nickel-cobalt operation in Papua New Guinea and royalty agreements for 13 other projects. In recent months, the company has been embroiled in a conflict with shareholder Pelham Investment Partners, which made a play to acquire a larger share of the company and influence its direction.

Last Wednesday (May 3), Nickel 28 shared Q1 operational results for Ramu, which performed at 111 percent of its nameplate capacity, according to the release. In the same release, the company said it has decided not to renew its equity-based compensation plan after conferring with several shareholders — none of which are Pelham — and considering their feedback.

Nickel 28 released further news last Friday, sharing that it has received a list of five director nominees from Pelham, including the fund’s CEO. The company said it will review the information with a special committee of independent directors and respond in due course. Its share price rose throughout the week to peak at C$1.70 on Friday.
