FULL DISCLOSURE: The Deep Dive is long the equity of Power Nickel.
Power Nickel (TSXV: PNPN) has expanded its board of directors following the appointment of Dr Steve Beresford, an internationally recognized geoscientist that is an expert on polymetallic discoveries, which follows the Lion Discovery made by the company earlier this year.
“Polymetallic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits remain the premier deposit type, even with the current Nickel price. These deposits are high-grade metal deposits where Cu and noble metals (PGE, Au, Ag) form equivalent value to Nickel, not just credit metals. Lion is prospective for between 11 and 15 metals. It’s not academic nuance to discriminate these systems from common garden Nickel deposits, it’s economics. We continue to advance the Lion discovery and I look forward to working with the Power Nickel board during these exciting times,” commented Dr Beresford on his appointment.
