Australian Mines Limited has released further positive results from the Company’s Resource extension drilling program at its Sconi Cobalt-NickelScandium Project.
Australian Mines’ Sconi project, located near the township of Greenvale (approximately 225 kilometres inland from Townsville in Northern Australia), is one of the most advanced projects of its type in Australia and represents far more than just an emerging cobalt + nickel + scandium mining project.
It is planned the Sconi Project will become a fully-integrated chemical processing operation capable of delivering battery-grade cobalt sulphate and nickel sulphate to our off-take partner, Korean-based SK Innovation, for direct application at their global electric vehicle battery manufacturing plants without the need for Australian Mines’ cobalt and nickel products to undergo any further processing[3]. As such, the Sconi Project is being designed to capture the full “valueadd” of the Project on site[4].

The Company is still in the final stages of delivering the BFS for the Sconi Project. The draft BFS is currently incomplete, pending independent validation of BFS inputs.
