S8 Ep35: Midweek Takeaway with Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Kendrick Resources (LSE:KEN) #KEN

Welcome to another episode of Midweek Takeaway! This week, we're joined by Colin Bird, Chairman of Kendrick Resources, who brings us some thrilling updates on advancing nickel projects in Norway and Sweden. These projects aim to address the critical nickel supply shortfall essential for battery production. With the backing of the European Commission’s Critical Raw Materials Act 2024 and favorable mining legislation in stable jurisdictions, Kendrick Resources is well-positioned for success. We'll delve into the advantages of nickel sulphides, which are easier and more energy-efficient to process than nickel laterites, making them the preferred source for battery-grade nickel. Colin will share insights on their key sulphide deposits in Njuggträskliden and Mjövattnet in Sweden, and Espedalen in Norway, and how these projects align with the growing demand for high-quality nickel in the battery industry. Plus, we'll discuss the strategic significance of the Swedish nickel assets' proximity to the leading battery manufacturer Northvolt and the Kokola smelter. Tune in to discover how Kendrick Resources plans to meet the supply shortfall and drive forward the future of battery production.Disclaimer & Declaration of InterestThe information, investment views, and recommendations in this podcast are provided for general information purposes only.
