Episode 169: Prospects for nickel industry better than ever, ft Paulo Castellari

This episode features an interview with Paulo Castellari, CEO of Atlantic Nickel and Appian Brazil, who discusses the company’s Santa Rita nickel project in Brazil with acting editor-in-chief Trish Saywell. Atlantic Nickel recently sold its first nickel concentrate from Santa Rita and signed a three-year offtake contract with Trafigura. The project was previously owned by Mirabela Nickel, who operated the mine for six years before it shut down in 2015 due to low nickel prices and high costs. Topics include: the volatility of the nickel market; what it’s like to mine in Brazil; Atlantic Nickel’s offtake agreement with Trifigura; and Atlantic’s private ownership by Appian Capital. All this and more with online editor and host Adrian Pocobelli.
