The prefeasibility study (PFS) of ASX-listed metals developer Axiom Mining’s Isabel nickel project, in the Solomon Islands has indicated that the deposit will be able to produce a consistent saprolite product “for which customers will pay a premium”, unlike other supply sources in the surrounding areas. “The PFS has confirmed the economic viability and the world-class potential of the Isabel nickel project,” stated Axiom CEO Ryan Mount, adding that the study also highlighted the competitiveness of the operation and validated the company’s previously published scoping details.
