Blast Mining Enterprises presented on the nickel market and opportunities in nickel mining. Key points include:
- Nickel demand is expected to increase due to population and GDP growth while reserves have declined, pointing to a future deficit.
- Production is projected to slightly decline in 2016 for the first time in 5 years, also indicating a future deficit.
- The nickel price is currently at historic lows, presenting opportunities for new projects and producers occupying lower cost positions.
- Five potential opportunities highlighted are trading nickel, exploring for new sulfide deposits, and acquiring laterite deposits, processing technologies, or underperforming assets.

4. Introduction (1/2)
Etymology: The name nickel is derived from “Kupfernickel” – literally meaning “copper demon”,
because the mineral from which nickel was first derived (niccolite) looked like copper but yielded
none…
Discovery: Although used since ancient times, nickel was only isolated as an element (atomic #28)
in 1751 by a Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt.
Favorable attributes:
• Corrosion resistance
• Toughness
• Strength at high and low temperatures
• Favorable magnetic and electronic properties

Qualitative comparison between nickel laterite and nickel sulfide deposits
Nickel laterite Nickel sulfide
HSE: Higher risk personnel during processing,
higher energy consumption (2-5x) and
emissions
HSE: Current processing techniques have lower
impact on the environment, underground
mining inherently more dangerous to personnel
Financial: More amenable to economies of
scale, higher CAPEX and OPEX and fewer
byproduct metal credits resulting in a high
position on the cost curve, lower revenue
Financial: Low cost curve position, mix of
products provides sought after protection in
highly cyclical (nickel) economy, underground
mining usually requires longer lead times
TFOR: Potential for game changing
technological improvements, many known
undeveloped deposits, feasibility issues, lower
quality product, batch process, complex, lower
system reliability, less stable producing nations
TFOR: Conventional source nickel mined,
grades existing deposits decreasing, few known

18. State of affairs summary
• Nickel is a top 10 metal (#6) in terms of revenue
• The market for nickel is global and relatively competitive
• There are two sources of nickel: Nickel laterite and nickel sulfide
• Nickel laterite is recovered from weathered rock & amenable to open pit mining, usually at
high CAPEX & OPEX. There are many undeveloped nickel laterite deposits.
• Nickel sulfide is favored. Characterized by lower cost, higher Ni grades, and often byproduct
credits that result in a low position on the cost curve. This material is also easier to process
using conventional mining technologies.
• Over the past two decades nickel reserves have increased and kept up with the growth in
production. After several years of surplus, Nickel is currently trading around all time inflation
corrected lows (past 100 years).
As a result nickel is not much loved in the industry

20. Expected future developments (1/8)
I. The curtain will (continue) to fall on some producers
II. We see encouraging signs that the nickel market is about to rebound:
• Nickel supply is expected to slightly reduce in 2016
• 2016 looks like the first year in five that there will be a demand surplus
• Relative reserves have been shrinking and are currently overestimated.
• Future nickel demand looks solid

21. Expected future developments (2/8)
Stating the obvious: In a market that is 50% underwater, not everyone is going
to make it. Assets owned by the companies on the list below occupy the best 50% of positions on
the cost curve and are therefore the least likely to default.

26. Expected future developments (7/8)
Factors influencing nickel demand
• Global population +33% Increase up to 2050 projected by UN
• Average GDP per capita Rising, particularly in developing nations
• Construction Urbanization expected (developing nations)
• Nickel price Currently trading at historic lows (conditions ideal for the
creation new nickel products)
• Innovation Ni properties include corrosion resistance, toughness,
strength at high & low temperatures, favorable magnetic &
electronic properties. These properties may be in demand
w.r.t. future products.
• Substitution potential Some substitutes for stainless steel products exist and
become attractive at (much) higher Ni prices
Copyright Blast Mining Enterprises 26
27. Expected future developments (8/8)
• We believe that nickel is a versatile and adaptable commodity with hard to beat favorable
attributes: Corrosion resistance, toughness, strength at high and low temperatures, favorable
magnetic and electronic properties.
• As a result we do not believe that – despite phenomenal historic growth in the application of
nickel – nickel demand will subside below current production levels in the next twenty years. In
fact, during this time we are expecting the nickel demand to further increase.
• The future of nickel may be as volatile as its past, which presents significant opportunities to a
diversified investor.
Several years of surplus appear to have come to an end we expect to see that
the price of nickel will substantially recover in H2 2016.
Copyright Blast Mining Enterprises 27
28. Five potential investments (1/4)
We believe that this is the time to invest
Copyright Blast Mining Enterprises 28
29. Five opportunities
Particularly if you are (i) an equity company searching for high yield investment opportunities, (ii) a
junior or diversified miner already engaged in nickel, (iii) or a mining equipment manufacturer – at a
risk level that suits your organization – Interesting opportunities include, but are not limited to:
1. Trading in physical nickel or financial nickel derivative products (short – medium – long term)
2. Carry out exploration for and investigate feasibility of exploiting new nickel sulfide deposits yourself
or sell to another mining company (medium – long term)
3. Investigate feasibility acquiring the rights to & exploiting a known undeveloped massive low grade
Ni sulfide resource by block caving (long term)
4. Develop sensor sorting technology to sort low grade Ni sulfide ore (long term)
5. Develop a nickel laterite process that is better from an HSE, financial, and technical feasibility &
operational risk perspective (long term)
