Widgie Nickel Managing Director and CEO, Mr Steve Norregaard, commented:
"The second of 6 MRE revisions destined to be delivered over the next few months is a resounding success demonstrating the potential we all see in the Mt Edwards Nickel Project. Gillett is now the largest, highest confidence resource in the company's portfolio, with ample exploration upside remaining. This substantial upgrade will feed into our scoping study, leading to increased mine life and will importantly defer capital requirements as we can now clearly see a longer life start up in the Widgie South area”
“Widgie’s unique assemblage of 12 resources in close proximity make for a wonderful opportunity to build a long life, high confidence, low risk mining operation in the medium term.”
