Pacific Nickel Mines Faces Operational Hurdles at Kolosori Project

Don’t Miss TipRanks’ Half-Year Sale

The latest announcement is out from Pacific Nickel Mines Limited ( (AU:PNM) ).

Pacific Nickel Mines Limited has faced operational challenges at its Kolosori Nickel Project, including machine availability issues, adverse weather conditions, and a weak nickel price environment. These factors have led to delays in shipments and necessitated additional working capital. As a result, the company, in consultation with its financier Glencore International AG, decided to temporarily cease operations to reassess the project. Despite these setbacks, a local mining contractor was re-engaged to maintain compliance, and a shipment of nickel ore was completed to support site activities. The company has not yet commenced repayment of its US$22 million loan from Glencore, which has reserved its rights regarding the project debt.
