BMI and Red Cloud’s Lithium-ion Battery Supply Chain Conference – Conference Recap

Yesterday, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (BMI) and Red Cloud hosted the Lithium-ion Battery Supply Chain Conference, which featured 13 presenting lithium and battery metal companies and four keynote speakers: Andy Miller and Daisy Jennings-Gray from Benchmark Intelligence, Sam Pigott from Ganfeng Lithium, and Iola Hughes from Rho Motion. The conference had close to 300 participants registered in advance of the event. With this note, we want to provide a quick recap of the highlights from the conference for those who were unable to attend the event.

Aston Minerals Ltd. (ASX:ASO) – Site Visit: New Nickel Discovery Quickly Taking Shape

We recently visited Aston Minerals’ Edleston Ni/Au project in the Timmins area of Ontario. During the visit we toured the company’s project facilities, including the office and core shack, examined maps and drill core and engaged in discussion with the company’s management and geology team. We were impressed with the size potential of the project, the good nickel grades in early drilling, and the desirable mineralogy.

Aston Minerals Ltd. (ASX:ASO) – MRE Warranted for Edleston Main Au Prospect

Aston provided an update on gold drilling results from its 100%-owned Edleston project south of Timmins, ON. These results are from the Edleston Main, Edleston East and Sirola prospects (Figure 1). Results have confirmed that an extensive body of Au mineralization exists at Edleston Main warranting a mineral resource estimate (MRE) while further evaluation is required for the Edleston East and Sirola prospects. While Aston has recently changed its exploration priorities to target nickel mineralization at Boomerang, we view these results positively as it reaffirms the prospectivity of Au mineralization and upside present at the project from both, Ni and Au.

Aston Minerals Ltd. (ASX:ASO) – Initial Testwork Demonstrates Mineralization is Highly Extractable

Aston Minerals (ASO) provided an update on the initial petrographic analysis of nickel-sulphide mineralization from the Boomerang Ni-Co target at the Edleston project near Timmins, Ontario. The analysis has provided further context to the nickel assays that have been received to date, demonstrating that the nickel is dominantly contained in sulphide minerals, including pentlandite but largely in the high % Ni minerals millerite and heazlewoodite. In addition, partial vs. total digest methods have demonstrated 93% liberation of Ni across all drill holes to date. Overall, we view this as a positive for the company, as this demonstrates that the nickel is contained in minerals that are highly amenable to conventional extraction and processing.
