NiWest: the Australian mine looking to defy the nickel downturn

(Mining Technology, London, 19 February 2025) Alliance Nickel is advancing its NiWest Nickel-Cobalt Project in Western Australia, which could produce 20,000 tonnes of nickel annually over the first 12 years. Despite a challenging nickel market, the project’s definitive feasibility study shows it has the potential to deliver low-cost, high-quality outputs. The project is set to become a key player in Australia’s nickel industry, with environmental and economic sustainability at its core. Alliance Nickel is engaging with Export Finance Australia, the Canadian export credit agency (ECA), Samsung and South Korean ECAs.
