The Baptiste Deposit at FPX Nickel’s Decar Project is one of the world’s best development-stage nickel projects
Lower Projected Costs
- Potential for lowest quartile operating costs (US$3.13/lb Ni)
- Low capital intensity compared to recent global nickel mines
Large Resource, Long Life
- Projected to be among the world’s 10 largest nickel mines by annual output
- 24-year mine life with significant expansion potential
Excellent Location
- Located 80 km west of Mt. Milligan mine (first production 2013) in BC
- Supportive local relationships
- Close proximity to power and rail
High-Value, Strategic Nickel Product
- High-grade nickel product (63-65% Ni) with low impurities
- Suited for direct feed to stainless steel or for EV battery market
Modest Enviro Footprint
- Non acid-generating host rock
- No toxic heavy-metal leaching
- Benign tailings with significant potential for CO2 capture
Conventional Mining & Processing
- Bulk-tonnage, open-pit mining with low strip ratio (0.17:1 life-of-mine)
- Magnetic separation followed by flotation recovery
- Production of high-grade Ni product and by-product iron concentrate

A Potential Carbon Neutral Mine
According to Dr. Ian Power (Professor, Trent University), “Decar offers a tremendous opportunity for developing a carbon-neutral mine”.
- Decar mine waste (brucite) naturally sequesters CO2
- Generates a possible carbon benefit under the B.C. carbon tax
- Binding and cementation of tailings has numerous co-benefits that could influence mine design, operations, and closure
