Mincor eyes May start for Kambalda

Nickel developer Mincor Resources is gearing up to start production at its Kambalda operations, in Western Australia, in May this year, after reaching an agreement with the Nickel West division of major BHP to update the terms of an ore tolling and offtake purchase agreement (OTCPA).

Under the amendments, future sales would be based in imputed nickel-in-concentrate production through the implementation of a grade-recovery curve applied to the nickel ore delivered to BHP’s Kambalda nickel concentrator (NKC).
