Blackstone Minerals owns a 90% interest in the Ta Khoa Nickel Project in Vietnam. The project is located 160km west of Hanoi in the Son La Province and includes an existing modern nickel mine built to Australian standards, which is currently being used to process nickel ore delivered by the underground bulk sample program. The nickel mine successfully operated as a mechanised underground nickel mine from 2013 to 2016. The company is focussed on building a refinery close to the existing mine; mine and refinery being the two major cogs in Blackstones vertically integrated development strategy. The Companys development strategy is underpinned by Blackstones ability to secure nickel concentrate and Ta Khoa is emerging as a nickel sulphide district of enviable scale with several exploration targets yet to be tested. In February 2022, Blackstone completed a Pre-Feasibility Study for the mine and presented this on an integrated basis with the proposed refinery development. The refinery is being designed to have a refining capacity of 400ktpa, with feedstock provided from a combination of concentrate from the mine and third-party feed sources. Pilot Plant testing and Definitive Feasibility Studies are underway and will continue to de-risk the Project.
