Tati Nickel battles for longer lifespan

The Monitor: “As part of an intensive exploration programme, drilling was performed in the northern flanks of Phoenix deposit and models of Phoenix and Selkirk ore bodies were actualised,” he said at a recently ended Mining Indaba in Cape Town.According to Panov, proven reserves at Phoenix amount to 245,600 tonnes of nickel, which would extend TNMC’s lifespan further. In addition, progress has been made on resurrecting Selkirk Mine, with production from there expected to take Tati Nickel to 2023.
